In my country 911 is for emergencies that require police attention, like armed robberies, etc.
Don't dare call 911 for a medical emergency or they quite plainly tell you to fuck off and call either the public healthcare phone number (which is a short (and toll-free) but completely different number), or your private provider (which is a normal phone number)
Good luck calling the fire department
Damn... What a simple and easy thing to have fucked up.
Yeah, it sucks because all phones I've had (my first one was a Nokia 1100) let you dial 911 even while locked, but not other numbers.
I never needed to use it, but I guess it can be useful in rare cases
