You don't. When you don't have service, you don't call anyone. Maybe you can call 911 on someone else's phone that has service.

EDIT: If by "service" you mean you don't have a paid subscription, then the carrier provides 911 calls for free anyway by law. If you mean you don't have service because of lacking signal, then you can't call 911. Both are a lack of service.

Or 112 (Europe and parts of Asia), or 000 (Australia), or 999 (many countries) or a plethora of other numbers world wide.

112 is the number that makes the most sense. The easiest to dial on older rotary phones taking into account that 111 could be accidentally dialed.
