HURON, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A baby is home safe with family after a Huron Police Officer saved its life. Last weekend, the officer was responding to a 911 call from a babysitter and was the first to arrive on the scene, even beating the paramedics. Officer Brayden Grove says in Huron, the police can arrive on a scene within minutes, whereas it can take EMS 20 minutes or more. And in such critical situations, every minute can mean the difference between life and death.
