#Fairfield CT--Dispatchers at Fairfield Police Department doing some heroic things with back to back calls this morning. First they are giving over the phone instructions for CPR until fire, police and EMS arrive. Now they are coordinating information with a mom, the police and her lost child at a marathon race in town. The child has been located.
