  • Am I missing something?? I can’t see any mention of the infant being injured. The person who took the baby to the fire station should have called an Ambulance……or is the Fire Station only doors away from the Fire Station and it was thought they could help until the ambulance arrived.??
    If a child stops breathing at home the Ambulance staff radio through to base and they contact the Police. I know a boy who had an epileptic seizure when he was a small baby and the Ambulance crew had to perform CPR. At that point the parents didn’t know they baby had epilepsy. He was diagnosed after that.

  • I don’t understand why an injured baby would be taken to a fire station?
