Why do I have to call 911? If I call the fire station directly, wouldn't it save time?

Menifee Firefighters might not be at the station when you call. Even if they are, they will still have to activate 911 so that other emergency responders are notified. On the other hand, the 911 system is designed to save valuable seconds. When you dial 911, the system quickly locates and routes the call to the sheriff or fire unit that is closest to your location.
