Emergency Services refer to specialized organizations and personnel responsible for responding to urgent situations that pose a risk to life, property, or the environment. These services typically include police, fire, and medical emergency responders. Their main objective is to provide immediate assistance, mitigate hazards, and ensure public safety during crises such as accidents, natural disasters, medical emergencies, and criminal activities. Emergency services operate 24/7 and are often accessible by dialing emergency numbers, enabling rapid mobilization in critical situations. Each branch of emergency services has distinct roles: police enforce laws and maintain order, fire services combat fires and conduct rescue operations, and medical emergency services offer pre-hospital care and transportation for injured or ill individuals. Collaboration among these entities is essential for effective response and recovery efforts in emergencies.
