Update: As of 5:20 p.m. the problems were fixed and the 9-1-1 system in Teller County started working again.

Emergency 911 phone lines have been knocked out in Teller County.

If you have an emergency:

  • phone the Teller County Sheriff's Office at 687-9652
  • phone the Woodland Park Police Dept. at 687-9262
  • go to your nearest fire station, or police or sheriff's office

A storm packing fierce rain and hail moved through Teller County, coinciding with the failure of the 911 system.

Emergency crews are uncertain of the source of the problem. Therefore, repairs have not yet begun and they have no idea when service will be restored.
