Fire Stations have what is known as a 'Running Call' phone outside which
connects you to the control room. I assume the police and ambulance stations do
too.
Although in these days of mobile phones I doubt they have much use. Where I am
at the moment (pub) is about 100m from the fire station, but I would use my
mobile if I needed the fire brigade.
