The 118 Project.

Swiss pompiers got fed up with so many people confusing their number (118) with the number for information (18something). They’ve been receiving about 20 calls a day for information instead of for fires. So they recorded a rap song and shot a music video to remind the Swiss that 118 is for fires and emergencies only.

I’ve watched the video way too many times already… Le un un huit !

    118 numbers are direct enquiries here in the UK. I can see how it's confusing though for the Swiss ;)
