A problem with the Bell Aliant fibre optic network in Northern New Brunswick disrupted phone service throughout the Atlantic provinces for much of the day.
Bell Aliant reports phone service is now fully restored.
Acting Fire Chief Kevin Clifford tells CHSJ News he's unaware of any emergency calls falling though the cracks while the service was sporadic.
Police Inspector David Parks says a contingency plan was implemented pronto with all fire and community police stations being manned.
