BOSQUE COUNTY- The 911 dispatch center of the Bosque County Sheriff's Office evacuated all employees on Saturday afternoon after an airborne health hazard was detected, according to officials.

It is unknown how many people were sick and what their conditions were.

The Hill County Sheriff's dispatchers began answering Bosque County's 911 calls, which were then transferred to Bosque County Sheriff's deputies.

Callers could expect a short delay in calls to administration phone lines.

Although the dispatch center is in the Bosque County jail, no jail inmates or staff were affected as that part of the building was safe.
