Ambulance response times

Is it ok around here to call 911 to make sure the correct address pops up and to ask what the approximate response time is and possibly which station they will be coming from? I know every time people in my hometown moved they did this to make sure everything was correct, but I am not sure if that is ok to do around here. Heck, growing up my parents were the EMT's, so I never had to worry about it... Has anyone done this?

Re: Ambulance response times

  • I am sending you a PM.
  • Don't they ask if it's an emergency?

    you could call the non-emergency # for the police, Ankeny police is differnt than DSM, so I don't have the #.

  • I would call the non-emergency police number, not 911. 

    I've never heard of doing that before though.

  • I would not call 911 as at least here in Waukee as soon as the call goes through someone is sent out.  Definitely call the non-emergency number, though.  As much as I hate the fact that I now know this, our response time was just barely over one minute when I called, which I thought was amazing.

  • I would also talk to someone on the non-emergency line.  They should be able to answer your questions.  My cousin is right up the street from us and when they called on her boyfriend they were there within 2 minutes tops. 

    ((HUGS!))
