Disabled Woman Dies in House Fire After 911 Puts Her On Hold
Didn't see this here yet. I'll paste some excerpts from the story and link the full articles. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=4289729 http://www.911dispatch.com/brenda-orr-incident/ I remember hearing this on the news when it first happened. It's a sad story and the call creeps me out.  · |

Re: Disabled Woman Dies in House Fire After 911 Puts Her On Hold
That is fucked up. That dude that put her on hold after asking her to hold should be fired. It's not a pizza place, you don't just say "hold please" and click hold. You wait for confirmation that it's not an emergency, like a fire, then press hold. Stupid piece of shit...  |

You never place a person on hold in a 911 call center without confirming it's a non emergency. That guy needs to be fired and then sued by the family.
