                     think the situation warrants it, or wait the arrival of the response team.

                     radio and they will respond to the particular flat (approx 5-10 min) and

                     The operator will need to know the address of residence. The operator will
                     ask for a street number. There is no street number for FMC or for the FMC
                     Flats, however to enable the line connection please state the street number 1.
                     Therefore the address will appear as:

                     e.g.       FMC Flats

                     information is required.
