[00:00.30]Help|[00:03.69] Did you ever have to call for help?|[00:07.86] Were you ever in a situation that was an emergency?|[00:11.59] It is good to know what to do in case of an emergency.|[00:17.00] You should always know|[00:18.74] how to get in touch with the police and fire departments.|[00:22.75] I have read stories|[00:24.36] where very young boys or girls have called|[00:26.98] the police and saved their friend's|[00:28.60] or family member's lives|[00:30.15] because they knew just who to get hold of.|[00:34.13] If you see a fire, you should call the fire department.|[00:39.98] A lot of tragedies have been prevented|[00:42.90] because the calls have been made quickly.|[00:46.45] It is important that emergency vehicles arrive very quickly.|[00:51.55] That is why those vehicles have sirens.|[00:55.66] When their sirens go, it means to get out of the way.|[01:01.19] Policemen, firemen and ambulance attendants|[01:04.99] are trained to handle very difficult situations.|[01:09.34] They often save peoples' lives.|[01:13.13] They go through a lot of training|[01:15.19] to become good at what they do.|[01:18.55] They never panic in emergencies.|[01:21.41] For your part,|[01:23.21] you should keep emergency numbers near the phone,|[01:25.82] or know what the emergency numbers are.|[01:29.68] Where I live, there is a special number|[01:31.55] that you call for any emergency.|[01:35.35] We teach that number to everyone, even very tiny children.|[01:40.32] It is important to remain calm if you need help.|[01:44.92] If you call an emergency number,|[01:46.73] you have to be able to speak clearly,|[01:49.03] and tell the person you are talking to exactly|[01:52.01] what the problem is.|[01:54.50] I hope you are never in an emergency situation,|[01:57.55] but it is a good idea to be prepared.
