One of our first responders was recognized by Mayor Palmieri today for saving the life of a little boy.

On June 23, a Utica boy, who suffers from an epileptic seizure disorder, lost consciousness. But a fast acting police officer named Chris Manion, came to the rescue and saved the child's life.

According to WKTV:

Officer Manion was among the first on the scene on the 1000 block of Columbia Street, and luckily, he's a trained paramedic. He determined that Mike had no pulse or heartbeat.   He performed CPR.  Mike regained his pulse upon arrival.
