do i get charged for calling 911?
 

i live in one of the new townhouses in vancouver where not all residents have moved in yet. a few days ago the fire alarm went off and I called 911 (and a second time to clarify some info),and the fire truck came in a few moments.

they inspected the residence (not mine) where the alarm went off and it turned out to be a false alarm. the question is will I get charged for this?

Yes. $1

+1

They need to come out to turn off the alarm on the fire alarm panel anyway so they're gonna have to go out there.

We already pay for 911 service charges in our phone bills so I don't know why we pay $1.00 each call to 911

i think the only time you'd get "charged" is if you called them when you knew nothing was wrong

yes you do

Have you ever looked at your phone bill before?

in for the fail

you will only get charged if you call for no reason but than you wont just get charged money but you can also be charged criminally

Yes, you will get charged $0.99 for the initial call, plus $0.15 for every minute it takes for them to arrive.

Next time you're being robbed, or you see a fire, think twice before calling 911.

if you called the ambulance and have them take u away, they'll charge you about 50$
have a nice day

lol you sure you not calling 911-collect? :haha:

Wasn't there a $0.50 911 fee for cell phones?

yes, dont call anymore ,,even if its a real fire. otherwise they'll get mad!!

Yes once upon a time.
