Burlington Fire launches Next Generation 9-1-1 to enhance emergency response communications Burlington Fire has advanced its emergency response capabilities with the successful transition to the Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) network.

Despite the implementation of the new network, there is no change in how residents access emergency services. Those in need of emergency assistance should still just dial 9-1-1.
