Benjamin Kole, Firefighter/Paramedic
Las Vegas Fire & Rescue Firefighter/Paramedic Benjamin Kole received an on-duty call that a baby had
been delivered without a pulse in a nearby apartment. Once on the scene, Ben ran upstairs and began
performing CPR. Knowing the baby’s chances of survival were better the quicker he could get her to the
ambulance, Ben continued to perform CPR as he carried her downstairs to the unit. He and his partner
administered life-saving treatment until finally they got a pulse and could sustain the baby’s heartbeat.
She was then transported to the hospital. After just 2 1⁄2 weeks in the hospital, she was able to go home
with her family and is doing very well. IMG_2054.CR2
