Use emergency services appropriately

Is that 119 call, really an emergency?
Current Situation with Emergency Calls and Request for Cooperation
The City Fire Department has 10 ambulances on duty and on standby 24 hours a day.
When a 119 call is received and an ambulance is requested, the ambulance closest to the scene is dispatched.
However, if ambulances are used in cases where their use is not necessary, or if people with minor illness or injury use
ambulances, arrival at the scene of a serious incident such as a serious injury or myocardial infarction or other timesensitive situations may be delayed.
The number of ambulances dispatched in the past year was the second highest on record, and about 30% of thesecases were diagnosed as minor illnesses that did not require hospitalization.
If your symptoms are mild and you can go to the hospital by yourself, please use a private car or cab to go see a doctor.
Please cooperate so that ambulances can be dispatched to the people who truly need them.
