June 24, 2011

(Updated 10:15 p.m.) An equipment problem left Walnut Hill, Bratt and Molino Frontier Communications customers unable to call 911 or other numbers outside the Frontier network for over five hours Friday.

The outage started before 5 p.m. and was resolved by about 10:15 p.m. During the outage, the Molino and Walnut Hill stations of Escambia Fire Rescue were manned by volunteers in the event they were needed for an emergency.

A Frontier spokesman said the problem was a fiber optic equipment equipment failure in the Walnut Hill or Molino area.
