N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Dickey County Emergency Manager Charlie Russell has reported that 911 services are down on land line phones. Cell phones are working though.

According to Russell, residents are also being asked to stay away from all fire areas. Russel pointed out that last night onlookers were severely hampering fire operations and were endangering anyone who was in the area of the fires.

Russell is urging residents to stay out of rural areas of the county for everyone’s safety. Oakes Ambulance reports that an alternative number to call for emergencies is 800-472-2121.
