911 system down across Massachusetts
The 911 emergency response system is down across all of Massachusetts, according to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and the Boston Fire Department. The system is used by thousands to report all manner of situation, from suspected crimes to medical emergencies.
Wu shared the surprise news during a press conference outlining the city's plans for a Celtics parade, scheduled for Friday.
"If you are experiencing an emergency, if you find your way to police, fire or EMS, we will make sure that you get to the right place," Wu said. "So, don't worry about needing to have the exact right number or anything as this is getting resolved very quickly."
