ETA: As far as cell phones/911, I've had to do it a couple of times and never had a problem. Granted, it wasn't from the house and maybe that's different, but if anything that would be less likely to be an issue.

I witnessed a car accident a couple of years ago and called 911. Thankfully the person was fine, but I didn't know that when I placed the call. I must've gone through at least five minutes of dispatchers giving me grief because 911 had connected me to the wrong jurisdiction for the location I happened to be in. I wasn't home and had no idea where the county and township and municipal boundaries might be or what agency I "should" have called.


But it's true - when you're home, the only time it might be an issue is when there's no one capable of telling the dispatcher your physical location. That's a real possibility, but it's also a small subset of 911 calls.
