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.

She said the 14-year-old didn't have much information, but the dispatchers worked with him, in order to track his friend's phone number and get her the help she needed.
