    It depends on the circumstances. If it's a fire, they'll send a fire truck, ambulance and police.

    911 is for emergencies, the operator makes the determination of which emergency response you need.

    I have never called the emergency services in the USA, but in the UK, you get asked which service you require. You can ask for one or all 3 if it is a major incident.

    There's one 911 for everything, and when you tell them why you are calling, they will tell you which one they are sending.
