Lakewood Police Sergeant Saves Little Girl’s Life
Posted on February 16, 2012At approximately 7:20 pm last night Lakewood Police Sergeant John Fraser was on his dinner break with fellow officer Lt. Chris Lawler at Koto Teriyaki located at 5700 100th St SW. Both officers were enjoying their meal when suddenly Sgt. Fraser got up quickly and raced towards the front counter. John had seen a young girl choking a couple of tables away and rushed into action. He performed abdominal thrusts on the child and after about the fifth attempt the object came out of the young girl’s airway and she was able to breathe. Lt. Lawler called to get the firefighters on their way, and by the time they arrived the little girl was breathing normally and was absolutely fine.
No one in the restaurant knew what to do for this little girl, including the mother. Thank goodness these officers were in the restaurant and knew exactly what to do to help this little girl. Captain Pat Lillie of West Pierce Fire & Rescue said, “This call would have had a completely different result had Sgt. Fraser not been in that restaurant, he saved that little girl’s life.”
Sgt. Fraser will be awarded at an upcoming West Pierce Fire & Rescue Board meeting for his heroic actions.
