Very interesting! When I was a child my dad was an ambulance driver on the weekends (in addition to his FT job as a truck driver). I remember the ambulance calls came directly to our home phone number and we could not use our phone during the weekend because he might get a call (call waiting didn’t exist then). Also, the ambulance was parked in front of our house on weekends!
I’m from Cape Cod and we didn’t get 9-1-1 service until the mid to late 90’s. I remember learning the local emergency numbers at school. Also, a fun fact, in Japan the emergency number is 1-1-9
