How to call emergency services in Singapore

Dial 999 for police (including accidents, crimes, and non-life-threatening incidents). Dial 995 for fire, ambulance, and all medical emergencies (SCDF responds). Both lines have English-speaking operators 24/7. For minor medical issues, Urgent Care Clinics (UCCs) at Polyclinics and private Urgent Care centres are available without calling emergency services. The OneService App (municipal feedback) handles non-emergency civic matters.
