Heroes in Action

#Fairfield CT--Dispatchers at Fairfield Police Department doing some heroic things  with back to back calls this morning.  First they are giving over the phone instructions for CPR until fire, police and EMS arrive.    Now they are coordinating information with a mom, the police and her lost child at a marathon race in town.  The child has been located.  I probably won't know the outcome of the person having the heart attack.  What I do know is that dispatchers do this daily without much recognition.  We are blessed to have great professionals not just in Fairfield but in our entire area.  How about some likes to show your appreciation!
