Incident Of The Week
Black Diamond Fire responded to a 911 call on Feb. 13 for an infant that was not breathing near Kentlake High School. The family of the two week old baby was performing CPR when firefighters arrived. The firefighters took over CPR and were able to get a pulse and respirations from the baby within moments. Paramedics arrived and evaluated the infant, then transported the baby to the hospital.
CPR is a skill that everyone should know. This baby was lucky to have a family that knew how to perform CPR and was able to help out immediately.

Animal Angels Network donated a set of pet oxygen masks to KCFD 44 on Valentine’s Day. This set of three masks will go on a fire engine so firefighters can give pets oxygen during fires or other emergencies. The department wants to thank Animal Angels Network for this donation.
