Granite handles overflow 911 callsBy Amelia Wood - PBM Editor
Wednesday evening, July 24, the Granite County Sheriff’s Office was suddenly inundated with 911 calls. The surge in calls was due to the severe winds and thunderstorms in and around the Missoula area which maxed out the Missoula County 911 lines. It was at this point that Granite County began to receive Missoula’s overflow calls. Sheriff Dunkerson soon became concerned, however, as Granite County only has four emergency lines. With the surplus calls coming in from Missoula, it was possible that a call about a local emergency may not be able to get through. For the entire story, please subscribe to the print edition. |
