Dispatcher Amelia Boom received the department's Life Saving Medal for her actions during a medical emergency on March 31.

Officials said Boom answered a 911 call involving a possible heart attack, immediately dispatched fire and emergency medical personnel, and guided the caller through CPR until first responders arrived.

Her instructions allowed CPR to begin without delay, helping emergency crews restore the patient's pulse before the patient reached the hospital. The department said her quick thinking and calm response played an important role in the patient's survival.
