Update on Anne Arundel County 911 System: The 911 system is fully operational again. For emergencies, please dial or text 911 and discontinue using 410-222-0701, as this is not a continuously monitored phone line under normal operations. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

UPDATE:

The Anne Arundel County 911 system is continuing to experience intermittent difficulties. This is not affecting every call. Continue to call 911, if you are unable to make voice contact, someone will call you back or can text 9-1-1 or dial [phone]. We are working to resolve this issue.

@bhollerb6 @ToddJLeDuc @CityofBend @CFFREHR @saraanne71 @DanKerrigan911 What's up?

[Annapolis Fire Dept @AnnapolisFire]

As time springs forward, it is a good reminder to test your smoke alarm. Not only when the time changes, but recommended to check them monthly. If your smoke alarm is more than 10 years old, they should be replaced with a 10-year, sealed battery model.
