October 30, 2009

PHELAN • Just after fire officials saved more than 50 animals from a Phelan rescue center, paramedics were called to help save the life of a woman across the street from the burned-out structure, San Bernardino County Fire Department officials said. As officials were leaving the scene early Tuesday morning, someone came out of a home directly across the street from where the fire took place and said their female family member had stopped breathing. 15162_1230662176344_1522810609_604039_3208856_n Rescuers were able to quickly render medical aid and on her way to the hospital, the woman started breathing on her own, Firefighter Paramedic Danny Ward said.
