Our Emergency Communications Center is still using backup phones systems, but audio quality has improved.

Our public safety dispatchers are taking EMERGENCY and NON-EMERGENCY calls through a backup phone system. Calls are still coming through, but some audio issues have been reported.

If you continue having trouble reaching BPD or the City of Bloomington - Fire Department, please use one of these alternate numbers:
📞 309-824-0707
📞 309-261-5077
📞 309-434-2559

Just after 9:13 p.m. last night, a fiber optic line was damaged, causing widespread issues with the E911 network. This is affecting our Emergency Communications Center, Metcom, and several additional regional 9-1-1 centers.

The fiber cut is being repaired, and vendors are working to resolve the backup audio problems. There is no estimated time of restoration at this moment, but updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Thank you.tnk

Congratulations to Gabbie Harnish, Medical Social Worker at Carle BroMenn Medical Center for being named a Way to Be! winner this quarter.

The Way to Be! program celebrates team members who demonstrate the healthcare system’s Values of Excellence, Integrity, Inclusivity, Compassion and Accountability.

Harnish safely cleaned the wheelchair of a patient, kept it safe for the patient, then arranged for it to be taken to another facility when the patient was transferred by ambulance.

“I don’t believe it ever occurred to Gabbie that it wasn’t ‘her job’ to help in the way that she did,” Laura Wiley, MSN, RN, nurse manager for inpatient care coordination for the Carle Health Bloomington-Normal Service Area, said. “That’s important in an environment where care is provided 24/7.”
