Two City of Aurora employees are credited with saving the life of a one-year-old baby last week.
Daniel Chavez and Josh Elrod, who work in the City's Water & Sewer Division, were handling routine duties last week when they heard a startling scream.
A mother in a nearby home discovered her one-year-old son unresponsive on the couch, grabbed him and rushed him outside to seek help. Chavez and Elrod ran to the yard and faced with a language barrier, Elrod turned to Chavez to translate and communicate in Spanish.By the time paramedics arrived a few minutes later, the baby was breathing again and crying.
"They helped in a life-and-death situation that may have turned out very differently if not for their quick thinking and actions," said Aurora Fire Chief David McCabe.
