911 dispatchers honored
ATLANTA (FOX 5 Atlanta) - Atlanta officials honor a group of 911 dispatchers for how they handled two high-stakes situations.
The recognition took place Friday afternoon, at the Georgia World Congress Center.
The first group of dispatchers were honored for helping a 10-year-old boy, who had called 911 after his parents had died.
Organizers recognized two other dispatchers for assisting in a suicide call.
FOX 5 News talked to one of them, about how she helped the 14-year-old caller.
