Heathrow
Yes, as in the airport.
The 999 emergency services available in the UK are as follows:
Police
Paramedics / ambulance
Fire & Rescue Service
Coast Guard
(Mountain & Cave Rescue is also called by the other emergency services, as required.)
I called the Fire service once, when I was sitting in my 3rd floor apartment in the office, using my PC like I am now. A car horn had started sounding and did not stop. After about 20 seconds I looked down to see which idiot was doing this or had a stupid car alarm.
Much too my surprise, was an old Volvo fully ablaze down in the parking area, not 4 meters away from the next apartment block.
Called the Fire service on 999, they already had had several calls about the incident.
The big red truck turned up in a few minutes and then proceeded to douse the fire.
According to the neighbourhood rumour mill, the fire was arson, started by a woman who torched another woman?s car, for now being with her former boyfriend. (Love triangle, FTL)
I thought about it after all the excitment died down, strange experience to call 999, which I have luckily not had to do since.
