hotline

For the convenience of leaf-lovers, they publish this information on a Web site. Leaf-lovers can also call a special government number, or hotline, during the fall to find out where the best leaves are.

On the facial value, hotline seems to suggest the phone line is very hot/popular, but my dictionary states otherwise. So I'm eager to know what exactly the word hotline means to you. Thanks.

Thanks, Clive, for the clear reply.

By the way, is it at face value or on the facial value?
