  CPFR shared a recent story of a family who used their training to save a 9-month-old child“Training matters when seconds count.Recently, one of our members, Mitch, and his family experienced every parent’s nightmare when their 9-month-old son, Tucker, began choking on a small piece of plastic. With help from a neighbor who is a Snohomish County 911 dispatcher and former EMT, they relied on their training and acted quickly until Tucker’s airway was cleared. Even with nearly 11 years working in emergency response, Mitch described just how terrifying those moments were. Their story is an important reminder that emergencies don’t always happen when first responders are nearby and knowing what to do in those first few minutes can make all the difference.We encourage everyone in our community to learn CPR and basic first aid, including how to respond when an infant or child is choking.
