CPR Strikes Again
A 13-year-old girl is alive today thanks to fast acting bystanders.
Just before noon today, witnesses saw a girl stop swimming. Within thirty seconds they pulled her from the pool and started CPR.
She wasn’t breathing, and had no pulse, when they begin CPR.
By the time the fire rescue crew arrived, she was breathing on her own.
