Different countries have different fire alarm numbers, but each country has chosen the most memorable number to form the fire alarm number. The fire telephone number in the United States is 9 1 1, and in China it is 1 19. China chose "1 19" as the fire alarm number because of "65438".

In 1970s, according to the requirements of international standardization management, the International Telegraph and Telephone Advisory Committee suggested that the number "1 19" should be used for fire alarm telephones all over the world to avoid the interaction between fire alarm telephones and other communication services starting with "0". Moreover, the fire is sudden, and in order to ensure smooth communication, it should be compiled into the secret service at the beginning of "1 1".

In China, the telephone number of fire alarm is 1 19, which started with 1982, which is based on the experience of Japan. Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, China has adopted 1 19 as the fire alarm telephone number since 1950, and the telephone number of Taiwan Province Province, Bao Dao City, China Province is also 1 19 since 1970.

1 19 in China is not just a telephone, but an advanced communication system. It can exchange information on major disasters with any place in China, mobilize disaster prevention and rescue forces through satellites, and provide fire information to the highest fire commander at any time by telephone. 1 19 is actually a disaster prevention command center.
