911 was devised for EMERGENCY calls only.
A lot of calls today aren't true emergencies, and a lot of them are fake. In many cities, the system is completely overwhelmed with little or no funds to expand and fix it. I'll bet that this kind of operator decision happens fairly often, but fortunately without the terrible consequences.
The situation here is tragic, but I can understand how it happened.
Whether the operators here should be fired and/or face other punishment is the decision of their superiors. Hopefully, they have a better understanding of the situation than we do.
