911, Cellphone, Wireline Services Knocked Out by Fiber Cut in Texas County

A fiber cable cut shut down 911, wireline and cellphone services in Kerr County, Texas, Wednesday, said a post on the Kerr County Sheriff's Office Facebook page. Originally, it affected only landline and cellphone service, but the repair work hit some complications and knocked out the 911 services in the county as well, it said. The post instructed people to go to the local fire department or "flag down" emergency personnel in the event of an emergency.
