TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A former firefighter who administered CPR to a boy thrown from a car during an accident on Saturday (May 9) later said that she was acting as if the boy were her own child and was oblivious to the danger of oncoming traffic at the time, CNA reported on Tuesday.

Chiayi County Fire Bureau staff member Huang Xun-yi (黃薰儀) was a firefighter before she applied for an office position in order to take better care of her young children. Even so, she still keeps her firefighter spirit alive; every time she encounters an accident, she attempts to assist, CNA reported.

Huang and her children were in a friend's car on a trip to northern Taiwan Saturday when they saw two cars roll in front of them and scatter items across the highway.

"It's hard to believe — it was like a scene from the movies playing out right before my eyes,”she said.    [FULL  STORY]
