I didnt copy the whole article, but if you click to read the link, you'll see where they mentioned how last year a house burned to the ground while people where on hold trying to get through to 911. |
That wasn't last year. The article says earlier this month, but it specifically happened
just last week. Watching the news story made me so grateful that my hubby talked me out of trying to buy a house in the city of Atlanta. I applaud the councilman for paying attention to the local news and thinking outside the box to use Twitter.

Neighbors alerting 911 about a small house fire in west Atlanta Saturday afternoon say they waited on hold 20 minutes —- so long that some decided to fight the blaze themselves with a garden hose.
