In case of an emergency, help is just a phone call away. The following emergency numbers are available throughout the Czech Republic, and calls are free of charge:

• 112 – General Emergency Line
  For all types of emergencies (police, fire, medical). Operators speak multiple languages, including English, making it a good choice for foreigners.
• 150 – Fire Department
  For reporting fires, gas leaks, or other fire-related emergencies.
• 155 – Medical Emergency Services
  For immediate medical assistance or to request an ambulance.
• 158 – Police
  For reporting crimes, including violence, theft, or other threats to personal safety.
• 156 – Municipal Police
  For less urgent issues, such as noise complaints, public order disturbances, or traffic violations.

Tips for Using Emergency Numbers

• Stay Calm: Clearly describe the situation and provide your location. If you don’t know the address, describe nearby landmarks, or provide a number that you find written on the nearest lighting pole.
• Language Support: If you don’t speak Czech, ask for an English-speaking operator, especially when calling 112.
• Provide Details: Be ready to answer questions about the nature of the emergency to help responders arrive better prepared.
