Metro Vancouver emergency dispatch services restored

Emergency services were affected Saturday morning in the Lower Mainland.

Metro Vancouver’s emergency service dispatch service, which is operated by E-Comm, was experiencing issues.

An E-Comm spokesperson told Global News an “unplanned outage” began around 6 a.m., which led to wait times being affected.

The emergency dispatch services are now operating normally, according to E-Comm.

It was suspected to be a server malfunction that led to the outage.

Radio systems were being used during the outage.
