A firefighter stationed at Mitchell’s Plain has saved a baby’s life.
The incident took place in the early hours of Thursday.
According to the City of Cape Town, Michael Samuels was on duty in the Watch
Room, when a resident alerted him to a baby in distress at a neighbouring home.
‘’Soon after, the mom, Cachet Scala and her baby, Isaiah,
arrived at the Fire Station, and Firefighter Samuels set about trying to check
for any blockages in his airway. He managed to dislodge the blockage, providing
instant relief to the baby who was transported to hospital for further
observation and care, on the advice of the Platoon’s senior medic, Firefighter
Baigum Abrahams,’’ said JP Smith, Mayco Member for Safety & Security.
