Residents of the area between West Glacier and East Glacier cannot currently call outside of their exchange, including calls to 911, due to a cut fiber optic line, according to the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office.
The Glacier National Park dispatch has agreed to man their dispatch center until the line is repaired; in the event of an emergency, residents of the area can call Glacier National Park dispatch at 406-888-5561. GNP dispatch will then call Flathead County 911 and relay the request.
It is unknown when the line will be repaired.
