Oh, y'all don't do 999 like the Brits? (I always thought that was a little too easy to go by accident tbh)

But yeah 112f so eleventry-seveen Celsius. (44.5 according to a unit converter)

According to the wiki, 112 is technically possible but unlikely

The highest recorded body temperature recorded in a patient who survived hyperthermia is 46.5 °C (115.7 °F

40/104 is considered a life threatening emergency

There are a few countries that use 999 in addition, or for specific services like ambulance. (Ireland, Poland, Guernsey, and a few others IIRC.) 112 is just one of the more common.

Don't forget that 999 was chosen in the era of rotary phones - it was (iirc) chosen explicitly because it was hard to dial accidentally.
