YARMOUTH – As you will see and hear in the following HN Video, police and firefighters responded to a terrifying and harrowing priority one medical call early this morning, where a 9-year-old boy was reportedly not breathing.
Firefighters were eventually advised the child had a pulse.
According to radio traffic, the child suffers from Type 1 Diabetes and was suddenly exhibiting potentially life-threatening symptoms that needed immediate emergency attention.
HN NOTES: HN doesn’t typically respond to most emergency medical calls, only sometimes, like when young children are involved…
In this case, the family has been dealing with a serious medical condition that suddenly took everyone by surprise. It was an upsetting scene…
The HN audio and video is therefor heavily edited to protect the family’s privacy; references to the address have been removed, along with certain details regarding the child’s current condition…
It’s always alarming when a young child faces a life-threatening emergency. And, shortly after 1:00 am this morning, as always, Yarmouth first responders rushed to the scene and did their very best.
Please keep this young child and his family in your thoughts & prayers.
