About the Pakistan Emergency Numbers

This page lists the main emergency numbers used in Pakistan for police, rescue and ambulance services, fire brigade and the motorway police, with one-tap call buttons for phones. It also lets you save your own local numbers — the nearest police station, hospital, electricity or gas complaint line, building security or a neighbour — in your browser, so they are ready when you need them.

It is useful for families, students living away from home, travellers, drivers and anyone who wants important numbers in one place. Coverage and arrangements can differ between cities and provinces, so the list notes where a service operates and shows when the numbers were last checked. The page is independent and is not an official government service.

How do emergency services work in Pakistan?

Pakistan does not have one single emergency number for every service. Instead, separate short codes connect you to different services, and some are run by provincial governments, others by federal bodies or private welfare organisations.

15 is the police emergency number across the country. 1122 connects to Rescue 1122, the emergency ambulance, rescue and fire service operating in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and many other regions, with coverage that varies by district. 115 reaches the Edhi Foundation’s nationwide ambulance network, a private welfare service. 16 is used for the fire brigade in most cities. 130 is the helpline of the National Highways & Motorway Police (NHMP) for accidents, breakdowns and hazards on motorways and national highways.

These numbers are listed by many government and news sources but are marked here as secondary, because services and local arrangements can change and a line may occasionally be unavailable. Your district administration and provincial websites have the most authoritative local information.

How to use the Pakistan Emergency Numbers

1. Scroll through the list of national emergency numbers. Each card shows the number, the service and where it operates.

Practical examples

A road accident in a city

Call 1122 for ambulance and rescue where Rescue 1122 operates, and 15 for police if needed. Give the exact location, landmarks and the number of people injured.

A breakdown on the motorway

Call 130 for the National Highways & Motorway Police. Move to the shoulder, switch on hazard lights and stay behind the barrier while you wait.

A medical emergency in a town without Rescue 1122

Call 115 for an Edhi ambulance, or the nearest hospital’s emergency number if you saved it in your local list.

Preparing a family list

Add the nearest police station, two hospitals, your electricity and gas complaint lines and a trusted neighbour to Your local numbers, and show elderly relatives how to open the page.

What to say when you call

Operators need information quickly and in the right order. A clear call sounds like this: “There is a fire in a house at House 12, Street 4, Block B, near the Jamia Masjid. Two people may be inside. My number is 0300-1234567.” Give the location first, with a landmark, then what happened, how many people are affected and whether anyone is trapped or unconscious, and finally your callback number. Stay on the line and answer the operator’s questions.

If you smell gas

Do not switch lights or appliances on or off, and do not light a match or use a lighter. Open doors and windows, turn off the gas supply at the meter if it is safe, get everyone outside, and call your gas company’s emergency complaint line or the fire brigade from outside the building. Save the gas company’s emergency number in Your local numbers in advance.

Common use cases

• Families keep important numbers ready for elderly relatives and children.
• Students living in hostels save local numbers for a new city.
• Travellers and drivers know which number to call on motorways and highways.
• Offices and schools prepare emergency contact lists.
• Domestic staff and guards are shown which number to call for each situation.

Accuracy, limitations and privacy

The numbers come from the site’s configuration, where they are marked as checked on the date shown and as coming from secondary sources such as government and news listings. Services, coverage areas and short codes can change, and a line may occasionally be busy or unavailable. Confirm local arrangements with your district administration.

Your own saved numbers are stored only in this browser’s local storage, are never sent to VIPTools.pk, and can be removed with the delete button. Clearing browser data also removes them.

• Not an official government directory; coverage and numbers can change.
• Saved local numbers are only on this browser and device.
• Calling depends on your mobile network and signal.

Tips and best practices

• Save the most important numbers directly in your phone’s contacts as well.
• When calling, give your exact location first, then what happened and how many people need help.
• Teach children to call 15 or 1122 and to say their address clearly.
• Do not hang up until the operator tells you to.
• Never make hoax calls: they delay help for real emergencies.
