Tallmadge " The city sent out its own 911 call when its emergency system was felled by lightning June 26.
From June 26 through July 1, the Cuyahoga Falls Police Department routed Tallmadge and Mogadore 911 calls back through the department's 2181 line, according to Tallmadge police Lt. Ron Williams.
Tallmadge also provides dispatch services for the village of Mogadore's safety forces.
Williams said he believes that at 6:20 p.m. June 26, lightning struck an antenna at the rear of the building, traveling mainly through the phone lines, taking out the Positron Public Safety Systems and phone boxes.
Two dispatchers, two patrol officers and a prisoner were in the building when the lightning struck, said Williams. No one was injured.
