How to call emergency services in Slovakia

112 works from any phone without a SIM card or credit and connects to an operator who can redirect to police (158), fire (150), or ambulance (155). Operators speak Slovak and many speak English. State your location clearly (street address and city). The 112 system is integrated across all emergency services. From mobile phones, 112 is the standard EU emergency number.
