DARRINGTON — For the second time in two months, 911 service was knocked out to the areas of Oso and Darrington after fiber-optic cables were damaged.
The cut cable was reported about 1:45 p.m. and affected roughly 2,500 households for about two hours, officials said.
The disruption was an accident caused by an outside construction contractor, according to Frontier.
The last reported outage, in August, was the result of a brush-cutting accident. A new fiber-optic line was linked to Darrington after the March 22 mudslide wiped out the previous equipment.
