911 DISPATCHER TAKES CALL TO SAVE CHOKING BABY...IT WAS HIS OWN WIFE CALLING!

A 911 dispatcher in Lacey helped a distraught mother save her choking baby over the phone. But what's really amazing is that the dispatcher, who was in training, kept his cool even after he realized when the woman gave her address that it was his wife -- and his own baby. Janna Scott called 911 Feb. 4 when she found her 6-month-old son Jacob choking.

She wasn't expecting to get her husband, Chris Scott, but she immediately recognized his voice when he answered. He didn’t have the same reaction."Apparently she said, 'Chris, he's choking.' I kind of recognized her voice, but at that point I kind of blanked on my home address. I couldn’t remember it," Chris said.

More here and listen to the call.
