Cut Fiber Line Disrupts 911 Service From Landlines Near Bennett

Those emergency services can still be reached by dialing 911 from a cell phone. Construction crews cut a fiber line that knocked out 911 landline service.

Those who only have a landline and need to call for emergency help can call 303-795-4711 until the fiber line has been repaired.

All emergency services from a cell phone still work. It's unclear when 911 landline services will be restored.
