When Carrie called 911 to report the fire, she stayed on the line with a Hamilton County 911 dispatcher until she fell unconscious on the floor. You will receive a copy of that 911 recording to accompany this reunion. It is a riveting recording and hard to listen to, but moments after Carrie loses consciousness, you can hear the firefighters -- breathing through their SCBA -- arrive to find Carrie and pull her out. The dispatcher who stayed on the line with Carrie will be there for the reunion, along with other firefighters and EMS personnel who were involved in Carrie's successful rescue.
You will not want to miss this reunion. It's a gripping story with a happy ending, and we all need a happy ending right now. See you there!
