Service seems to be restored, but please check with your carrier if you have questions. If a problem persists with your line, please remember that you can reach us on non-emergency lines or by texting to 911.
Please do not call 911 to test the outage. Even if your call doesn’t connect, our dispatchers may still receive your number and must call you back. These unnecessary callbacks take valuable time away from responding to emergencies. Please keep 911 lines clear.
