The little girl called 911 when she found her father  unconscious on the floor. Jenna-Charlize Viloria, possibly saved her father's life, who had a diabetic seizure last month and collapsed in their apartment.

According to the recording of the call,

How old are you?” the 911 operator asked. “How old are you, honey?”

“Um, I’m 7 years old,” she now told the operator.

“Is your mommy or daddy there?”

“My dad is on the floor,” the girl said, moving quickly to tell the operator exactly what was needed.

As the little girl had said on the 911 call: “He’s on the ground sleeping.”

“Is there anybody else there with you?” the 911 operator asked

“No, it’s only me,” Jenna said. “My mom is at work and my grandpa is at work.”

Montgomery officials told Jenna’s story during a news conference on Wednesday and honored her with an “Everyday Hero” award.

Chief Scott Goldstein said that, “She looked at the situation, assessed it, and gave critical information.”

“They had quick thinking and composure in the situation,” Goldstein said , while praising  the 911 operator, Amanda Poore.
