For emergency medical assistance, call 911 which will connect you to off-base emergency services. Then call 611 which is the on-base emergency line and inform them that you have dialed 911 and off-base emergency services are on the way. They will ask you about your identity and location so that they can direct the incoming personnel to your area. If you can, send other people out to help direct the helpers to the needed location.
