LUFKIN, Texas — The City of Lufkin has issued a press release asking citizens to abstain from calling Lufkin Police and Fire Sevices. The emergency response teams are "currently responding to numerous weather-related issues," including downed power lines. 
"Ice-covered trees are falling on power lines, causing additional outages and fire hazards," Jessica Pebsworth, Lufkin Communications Director, said in the press release. "If you see a downed line, call our non-emergency number at 936-633-0356. DO NOT APPROACH IT or attempt to drive under it."
Pebsworth says dispatch is "inundated" with calls concerning downed lines, and they cannot take any calls about power and water issues.
