What if I accidentally called 9-1-1?
You may have called 9-1-1 by accident, or your situation may have resolved itself, but it is important to let the 9-1-1 operator know this. If you end the call abruptly, the 9-1-1 operator is going to assume that something has gone very wrong and will either call you back or send help anyway. It is much easier to simply stay on the line and let the 9-1-1 operator know what happened.
