'Little Hero' Saves Dad Suffering An Anaphylactic Reaction

BRAINTREE, MA — Braintree firefighters are crediting a 9-year-old for saving her dad's life with a 911 call.

Alex Schneider was doing a landscaping job in Braintree when he accidentally ran over a bee's nest. Both him and his daughter ran inside the house to escape the bees, but the stings caused him to suffered an anaphylactic reaction.

His daughter, Arianna, rushed to call 911 and avoid a fatal situation. In audio obtained by WFXT, Arianna told the 911 dispatcher that her dad was shaking and not alert with a red face.

Alex Schneider was taken to the hospital and released a few hours later. He admitted that things could have turned out a lot worse if he didn't bring his daughter with him that day.

In a tweet, the Braintree Fire Department called Arianna, "a little hero."

"We are convinced without her quick thinking and action the outcome would have been different," Braintree Fire tweeted.
