Emergency Information
Police, Fire and Ambulance
In the case of an emergency the best number to call is 911. When you reach the 911 operator he/she will ask you if you need police, fire or medical assistance. Once you have identified what you need the 911 operator will connect you with the appropriate service dispatcher for assistance: North Vancouver RCMP, Fire & Rescue Services, or the BC Ambulance Service.
In the case of a medical emergency, you may also want to call the DNV Firehall #4 (on Mt.Seymour Parkway near The Maples) directly and ask for assistance as they would be able to respond much more rapidly. Their number is 604-981-3110.
If you are unsure what qualifies as an emergency, visit the E-Comm web site for more information.
