Emergency numbers in Singapore
Free from any phone, including one with no SIM card, no credit and no roaming.
If someone is in danger right now, stop reading and dial.
- 995 — Civil Defence Force emergency line.
112 works too. On mobile networks it is routed to local emergency services almost everywhere in the world, from a locked handset with no SIM card in it. If nothing else on this page reaches anyone, dial 112.

What to know before you call
- · Everything is answered in English. Give the block and unit number — Singapore addresses are precise and the dispatcher will work from them directly.
- · 995 is for fire and for ambulance both. 999 is police. Getting the two the wrong way round costs a transfer, not a refusal.
- · Use 1777 rather than 995 for a hospital transfer that is not urgent.
Say your location first
Give where you are before you describe what has happened. A call can drop; an address already spoken still gets help moving. Read the town, then the street or the landmark, then the building. If you have coordinates on your phone, read those out — they work regardless of language.

Keep these without a connection
Every number on this page is also stored inside the EddyTrip app, so it opens with no signal at all. It shows your GPS coordinates — a phone reads those from satellites and needs no data — and can send them by text message, which needs a SIM but not a network connection.

We do not list hospitals, clinics or private ambulance services, because an address we cannot verify is worse than none at all in the situation this page is for. If a number here has changed, tell us at support@eddytrip.com and we will correct it.
