Girl's 9-1-1 call helps save her grandma's life

A young Davis Junction girl teared up while remembering the early morning 9-1-1 call she had to make to help save her grandmother's life.

Kayla Boyd, 11, was surprised in front of her classroom Feb. 8 by the first responders who assisted her when she called 9-1-1 on Dec. 3.

For her ability to remain calm and knowing what to do, Ogle County 9-1-1 Coordinator Sandy Beitel presented Boyd with the 9-1-1 Hero award.
