NENA honors everyday heroes

Aug 1, 2005 12:00 AM

The National Emergency Number Association at its annual convention last month, joined with 911 Cares to present the 2005 “Everyday Heroes“ awards. They went to New Jersey dispatcher Anthony Celano, who kept a victim calm and focused after a building collapsed on her; Florida dispatcher Donna Choufani, who fielded a call from a 5-year-old girl whose parents had been killed in their home; and Oregon dispatcher Deanna McKay, who kept her wits when she fielded a 911 call from her husband after her young son had been seriously injured after being run over by the family's riding lawn mower.
