Emergency calling Published July 16, 2010 By Wayne Crenshaw 78th Air Base Wing Public Affairs ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Team Robins members with cell phones should add an important number to their speed dial list to ensure the quickest response when making an emergency call on base. Calling 911 from a government landline on base will go to Robins E-911, and be answered by either a fire department or security forces dispatcher. However, if a call is made from a cell phone or non-government phone it goes to Houston County 911. Once callers specify they are on base, the call it is then transferred to Robins E-911. Callers can skip this step by creating a "Robins 911" contact on their speed dial. By dialing 222-2900, the number will go straight to Robins E-911. Persons making an emergency call should not hang up until told to do so by the operator, and should have someone meet emergency responders when they arrive on the scene. Callers should also provide detailed information about the location of the incident. This reduces the time spent locating the injured person or fire, particularly in large facilities.
