Boy Alerts 911 About Charred Cookie Emergency
 
Bazetta, Ohio-AP -- When you're four years old, it's
pretty urgent when mom burns the gingerbread man. 
So urgent that a boy in Bazetta, Ohio, called 9-1-1. 
It happened Thursday night. On the emergency
dispatcher's recording, the boy says, ``Mom, it's the
firemen, I told them we have an emergency.'' 
As his voice trails off, he adds ``... and we really do.'' 
The police chief says an officer went to the boy's
home and told him there was no need to fret --
gingerbred men don't breathe and don't bleed. 
A dispatcher says the officer brought the burned
gingerbread man and five other cookies back to the
9-1-1 Center, for sentimental value.
