Washington - Earlier this month a 911 emergency dispatcher helped save his own son’s life.

Chris Scott’s wife Janna called 911 because their 6 month old son Jacob was choking. He had become unconscious and had also stopped breathing.

The dispatcher who answered the 911 call was in fact Chris. Even though they recognised each others voices, realised quickly that they had no time for pleasantries. He managed to keep his calm and talked his wife through a procedure that cleared the boy’s airway.
