The eighteen month old baby was turning blue when the firefighters arrived. There was a life and death decision that had to be made and the Virginia firemen chose to transport the baby in the fire truck in order to get it to the hospital as quickly as possible.
James Kelley, the twenty-year veteran fire fighter and his colleague had to make a calculated choice to drive the child to the hospital, as waiting for another emergency vehicle to arrive to transport would have put the baby’s life in grave danger.
The fire fighters have now been suspended because of their choice to transport the child in the engine. According to Kelly, he and his colleague were suspended because the engine in not a licensed transport unit.
Instead of being haled heroes for making this choice and ultimately saving the baby’s life, they are now having to sit at home and wait for their suspension to be lifted.

This true hero did the right thing. His supervisors should have commended him. If he had gone strictly by the book, he would not have been suspended, but a child may have lost their life. Ask the parents of the child what they think of this guy and his crew. If I was on a city board, I would be looking into his supervisors and I would be asking some questions.
Stupidity at the highest, I bet if the person responsible for firing him had his daughter or son life saved by this same man he wouldn’t be firing him.
He needs to be suspended for how fat he is. Like seriously congrats on saving the girl but$#%&!@*sake man respect the uniform and get your fat$#%&!@*in the gym!
How can you suspend a fireman for saving a child’s life or anyone’s. They should be given a medal. I’m quite sure the parents of this child are so thankful these fireman have better sense than the higher ups. Get over your stupid selves and say thanks for your quick thinking.
That part is great but should never happened
