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.

Hate to think what would have happened to them if the baby died.
Insane
Crazy

LIBERAL BOSSES !
They should have been given medals. Bureaucracy at its best.
That’s what’s wrong w America, all these stupid regulations. It’s an emergency and you don’t always have the time to look up regs, you do what will save a life and these gentlemen did what was right.
Has the whole world gone crazy. God bless the firemen for using the brains God gave them.
Not fair what is wrong with this world
It just boggles the mind. Fireman saves a life get suspended for it. Thief breaks into a home gets hurt or shot can sue the homeowner. what is wrong with people today. SMH
