Emergency Numbers
Historically, the local operator would take emergency calls and forward them to the police, fire or local doctor. In 1964, the emergency number 000 was gradually introduced. In 1985, a modernized emergency service was started at Haukeland hospital in Bergen for Hordaland. In 1986, the emergency number diverted to 001 for fire, 002 for police and 003 for health emergencies. These numbers changed to 110, 112 and 113 in 1994, when the international access code changed from 095 to 00.
