WESTAMPTON — An upgrade to the county’s Public Safety Center was moved up after an equipment failure caused a temporary power outage and shutdown of Central Communications and its dispatch system.
The power outage happened just before 9:30 a.m. Sunday and prompted incoming 911 calls to be rerouted to Camden County’s dispatch center until power in the Westampton building was restored.
Burlington County’s Central Communications system was down for about an hour, and Camden County was able to dispatch all police, fire and emergency personnel.
