At least nine counties and three cities in southwest and central Virginia are reporting outages or call issues with their 911 lines Thursday. Rockbridge County Fire-Rescue and Emergency Management says this appears to be part of a multi-state 911 outage and is asking community members to call (540) 572-4200 or text 911 in case of an emergency. This also impacts the 911 systems in Lexington and Buena Vista. In Buena Vista, the city’s phone system is also down. In Campbell County, the Department of Public Safety says all service to the county’s E-911 and non-emergency phone lines has been disrupted.
