Emergency in Lincolnshire
Upon dialling 999 you will likely be first met by a first responder service called LIVES (Lincolnshire Integrated Voluntary Emergency Service) which operate in all areas of the county and often take on great importance due to the remoteness and rural nature of many places. They are usually able to make those in need more comfortable and provide assistance until the East Midlands Ambulance Service arrives.
