A new N.B. area code appears to have been the culprit behind a 2.5-hour blackout of the emergency system in all three Maritime provinces on Tuesday.
HALIFAX—A new area code in New Brunswick appears to have been the culprit behind a two-and-a-half-hour blackout of the emergency 911 system in all three Maritime provinces on Tuesday.
From that time until about 8:30 a.m., the majority of people in the Maritimes would have been unable to connect with 911 for emergencies. “We are not aware of any incidents, but this of course is extremely concerning,” he said. “We know that when someone calls 911, every second counts and that not to be able to get through would be just extraordinarily disconcerting.”
