*Rich Baenen, emergency service coordinator for the Burbank Fire
Department, urged residents to use the 911 telephone service for
emergencies only. Those calling 911 at midnight on Jan. 1 to see if the
phone lines are working risk causing delays to those who are experiencing
genuine emergencies. If too many people attempt to use their phones at
once on midnight on Jan. 1, the system could shut down, Baenen said.
