Boy, 5, hailed as hero for dialing 911, saving dad

Quincy Hall is only 5-years-old. Still, he knows exactly
what to do in case of an emergency: “Call the doctor,”
also known as dialing 911.

That’s exactly what Quincy did when his father had a
seizure in June, according to KING 5.

Quincy is being hailed as a hero because he knew to dial
911. The dispatcher, Ellen Mauerman, said when
she answered the phone, her first instinct was to think
that a kid was calling because he had just learned how.

As Mauerman started to take the boys information, she
heard him say, “It’s okay dad, I called the doctor.” She
knew it was serious.

By looking up cell phone records and getting GPS
coordinates, the dispatchers discovered the Halls’ address
in Chehalis.

In the worst case scenario, Trish Teigen, Quincy’s mom,
said that his dad could have died. Instead, he’s
recovering – and that makes Quincy a hero.
