*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.
