Emergency Numbers in Poland

112 is the European general emergency number, reachable from the fixed/stationary and mobile/cellular phones, free of charge, everywhere in Poland and the EU. All emergency calls from the phone boxes are free of charge. Direct emergency numbers if you dial from the stationary phones: 999 : Ambulance 998 : Fire Brigade 997 : Police 986 : Municipal Police 981 : Road Assistance If you are using mobile / cellular phone: remember to dial the local code before direct emergency number; for example: 22 + 997 to call the police in Warsaw. If you do not know the local code, dial the general emergency number: 112 and operator will request for you the appropriate emergency unit. But we recommend using direct emergency numbers in the case of danger (997 - Police, 999 - Ambulance, 998 - Fire), because in some areas the general emergency number (112) still does not work properly. Numbers which may be also be useful: Warsaw public transportation information - (22) 94 84 Crac
