Just re-read the first half (or so) of "A Fanfic Writer's Guide To Writing"

Even so, I see it mainly as a problem of degree - there's a saying I've seen in a few different contexts, most recently in a Potter fic but it applies just as much to cell phones and even more with only mundane travel resources - "When seconds count, the Aurors are minutes away." Having a protagonist, say, dial 911 on a cell phone, mutter the rough physical address and situation when it's picked up, then toss the phone into an out of the way corner and pull off their shirt (not popping the buttons, though, that gets expensive, time consuming, or both fast) to become Captain Super and get their action hero on will probably still see the fight over or turned into a chase before any official presence ever arrives., and if the situation hasn't been resolved by then it probably means they'll need backup, medical assistance, or at least crowd control anyway.
