Imagine having to take almost 1,500 calls a day, half of which are potentially life-threatening emergencies? That's the reality for Aurora911 dispatchers. They answer each call calmly, compassionately, and in just a matter of seconds. We're grateful for them every day, but especially during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Also on this week's show, free and affordable health fairs return to Aurora thanks to 365 Health; Aurora's Water-wise Garden celebrates 20 years of helping Aurorans save water, time and money; and ahoy matey - tickets are on sale now for the Fox's newest show, "Treasure Island." Those stories, and many more, this week on Aurora Now.
