LITTLE Ethan McSkimming saved his mum’s life by dialling 999 when he realised she couldn’t breathe.
Asthmatic Helen suffered a severe attack at home on Low Street, Gilroyd, on Monday morning while getting ready to take Ethan, six, to school.
It was the second asthma attack she’d had in four days.
Quick-thinking Ethan rang 999 and told the operator he needed an ambulance because his mum couldn’t breathe. He even spelled out their street name and offered paramedics biscuits when they arrived.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
