A Colorado fire department recognized an 11-year-old boy for his bravery in saving his mother’s life when she experienced a medical emergency last year.
Sawyer followed the 911 dispatcher’s instructions which included counting his mother’s breaths and ensuring her head was tilted back to keep her airway open.
“He did such an amazing job on the call, it just made me feel so proud, knowing that he can handle that kind of situation,” Sarah told the Fox affiliate.“It was for Sawyer’s courage and dependability in a crisis that the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office and El Paso County and Teller 911 Authority presented him with this 911 Hero Award,” Roybal said.
