Grand Forks 9-1-1 Center. Hi, this is Erin Anderson from the Acute Care Clinic here at Grand Forks Air Force Base.
Our ambulance is out. Okay, and I'm going to let you know that
probably within the next half an hour we will not have any contact with you guys at all.
State radio will be contacting you
for emergency because all 9-1-1 lines have been transferred to them.
Okay, so if you want to call them at 1-800-472-2121.
4-7-2-2-1-2-1. Right, and let them know that your ambulance is out.
Okay. Okay, is it coming here to Grand Forks? Yeah.
You may want to call United to make sure they can do that because we are possibly evacuating the entire city.
Okay. Okay, so call United first in case you have to turn around or whatever
and then give a state radio call. Okay. Alright. Thank you. Bye. Bye.
