Massachusetts is experiencing a 911 outage, several police and fire departments said Tuesday.
It wasn't immediately clear what was causing the outage, but police in Boston, Worcester, Medford and Malden and fire departments in Brockton and Hanson shared information on the outage. The agencies urged people who need help to call the local number for their department.
"9-11 is currently down statewide," Boston police said in a statement. "If you are experiencing an emergency please pull a Fire Box."
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu mentioned the outage at the start of her Boston Celtics NBA Championship parade news conference Tuesday afternoon, saying, "We've been in touch with the state and all the relevant officials to work on getting this resolved."
The State 911 Department, which oversees the system, hasn't put out a statement on its social media pages about the outage.
NBC10 Boston is reaching out to state authorities for more information.
