Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service is urging people to think carefully before calling the emergency services.
Using the hashtag #MakeTheRightCall, the service is calling on people to consider whether any given situation is an emergency before calling 999.
non-emergency scenarios, people should call 101 or NHS 111.
