Big Bear Lake, CA ____ The Big Bear Fire Department and Big Bear Sheriff Department alerted the Big
Bear Valley media of Land-line Phones temporarily out of 9-1-1 service, late
Wednesday afternoon.
An aerial communication line along the I-15 corridor
has been knocked out-of-service affecting landline communications to the 9-1-1
system in the Big Bear Valley. It is not known yet how much of the Big Bear
Communities are being impacted but it is confirmed that certain areas are
impacted.
If a caller on a landline experiences problems
getting through to 9-1-1, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department is
directing 9-1-1 Callers with Emergency needs to call 909-387-8313.
At that point the caller will be directed to
either fire or law enforcement depending on need.
This situation is not impacting cellular
phones.
Crews will be on-scene to repair the line
shortly, but at this time, it is unknown how long the landline service to 9-1-1
will be down.
