Ohio Firefighters Save Infant from Overdose

BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) — Veteran Boardman firefighter and paramedic Harry Wolfe said he just happened to look at this window late Tuesday afternoon when he saw a car lurch to a stop at the intersection.

Then, another driver near Shields Road and Lockwood Boulevard stopped to see what happened.

“At that point, I saw the bystander – whoever it was – had a child in his arms, and she was limp,” he recalled.

Wolfe and his partners, Rob Ariza and Scott Hanlin, were at the fire station on Shields Road when they were called into action to save the 14-month-old girl. The girl’s mother told crews that another child had given the toddler a chip or something else to eat and that she wasn’t breathing.
