Text to 911 with closed captioning

The original video – https://livestream.com/stateofdelaware/text-to-911/videos/184455734, did not have closed captioning.  DAD recently reached out to someone that knew how to make this possible and DAD was given permission to share the captioned version (shown above).  Delaware State will be adding the closed captioning eventually as both files came from them. 

Thanks to Delaware Office of Emergency Preparedness.
