If you know a person has a history of seizures, calling 911 may only be neccessary if it goes on longer than normal. A girl I take care of has seizures on average once or twice a week, but I don't even think about calling unless they last longer than 5 minutes. The first time I saw one though, that 45 seconds seemed to go on FOREVER. As people say, give them their space, but don't try to force their body to do anything if possible. Their body and their mind are not in synch, and they can hurt you more than you could probably hurt them.
