 :Funny, I looked it up, and in my home country (the Netherlands) where there is only one emergency number, this is actually the way they implemented it. You call up the number, this gets rerouted to the appropriate alarm centre, which is usually the police call centre. You tell them what's going on and the one who takes the call decides based on your description what emergency services to send and much personel is needed.   11:54
