The records were examined after Stacey Hunter's failed attempt to report a kitchen fire when three of four 911 call center employees were taking breaks at the same time.

With Hunter's repeated 911 calls going unanswered, her 13-year-old son and 14-year-old nephew ended up running a half mile to a fire station where firefighters quickly responded. WBIR.COM - Records show neglected fire call to 911 among thousands unanswered
