Cole Steffens used his "training" in school to stay calm under pressure as he called 911 as his sister was choking.
A 6-year-old Muskego boy helped save his little sister's lifeΒ in early March when he called 911 as the girl choked on food, according to Muskego NOW.
Cole Steffens made the call at the direction of his father, when his 16-month-old sister began to choke on a bedtime snack. His father was able to dislodge the pretzel, but Cole earned praise for his swift and calm action on the phone.
The boy later received the "hero treatment" from the Tess Corners Fire Department for his deed, according to the department's Facebook page.Β
