The staff of the Jefferson County Emergency Communications 911 Center recognized a local 4-year-old girl Wednesday night who was able to call 911 from her mother’s cell phone after her mother suffered a severe asthma attack in September.
Director of Communications Jeffrey A. Polczynski also used the occasion to recognize the center’s newly upgraded capabilities to pinpoint the location of wireless 911 calls. If that upgrade wasn’t complete, he said it would have been much more difficult for emergency workers to find Navaeh Madyun and her mother, Stephanie Macedo.
