This afternoon CDS recieved a call about a trapped child. Arriving on scene was a Urban Rescue unit to attend to eight year old Roberto Fuentes who was stuck in a street drain. The child had been there for over thirty minutes trying to dislodge himself with the help of family and bystanders. CDS used a Jaws of Life unit to free the patient. He suffered no injuries and was stable when Comandos transported him together with his family to his home.
