INDIANAPOLIS — A young Indianapolis girl says an Indianapolis Fire Department dispatcher is her new "best friend." They're forever connected through a life or death situation.
Last week, 10-year-old Hayley McKinley called 911 after her mother lost consciousness.
IFD dispatcher, Kris Mayfield, talked Hayley through CPR until first responders arrived.
