Head teacher Jeanette Hart says she placed the grenade behind a "substantial" tree and called 999.

      It’s the British equivalent.
      In the US people dial 911, in the UK it’s 999

      Police, fire, ambulance, coastguard, mountain rescue.

      Then the police phone the Ministry of Defence who send a disposal team.

      999 is the original. 911 didn’t come along until 30 years later.
