Thanks for joining us tonight at 10 00. Im jim lokay in for lauren and matt. Two volunteer firefighters suspended after rushing a child to the hospital and likely saving her life. The problem though policy. Reporter i spoke to one of the two firefighters. He said he felt it was a matter of life or death and thats why they chose to drive the baby to the hospital instead of waiting for an ambulance. Now the two men are suspended. It all happened last saturday. The childs father says his daughter was having a seizure. He pulled into a mcdonalds and called 911. He like an eternity. But then the two volunteer firefighters arrived. When i exited the fire truck i was the officer in charge. The gentleman handed me the child. At that point she was completely limp and flaz i had. I turned around and looked at my driver without any hesitation and i said turn it around, were going to the hospital. Reporter captain kelly and the childs father say the little girl is okay. The father released a statement that says in part my wife and i feel terrible for the fallout that has happened to these two gentlemen. They simply had the best interest for our daughters care in mind. Were extremely thankful they made the decisions they did and that our daughter is back home with us doing well. The actions of these men represent a dedication to their mission and a deep concern of doing what is best for the people they are serving. In our eyes they when we found her she was completely cyanotic. Blue. Reporter they couldnt get an exact time for when the ambulance would arrive. The chief says being down two volunteer firefighters makes it harder for the station to respond to calls. I support them 100 . If i was in the same position i would have done the exact same thing. We understand policy, we understand protocol, we understand standard operating guidelines. But they are just that. They are guidelines. They dont cover everything. Reporter the Stafford CountyFire Department overseas the station and that department made the call to suspend the two firefighters because their fire engine wasnt licensed to transport patients to the hospital. A spokesperson with the department told fox 5 potential Regulatory Compliance issue is under review by the fire and rescue department and the Virginia Department of health. Therefore we are unable to comment on this issue. I should also point out the two firefighters are volunteers here at the falmouth fire station. Meaning their suspension isnt kofrting them any money and i can tell you captain kelly was very upset when talking about this incident. He says hes a Third Generation firefighter who has a passion for helping people and he cant believe hes being punished for doing just that. Reporting in Stafford County, Alexandra Limon, fox 5 local news. As soon as we posted some of the details of the suspension on our website, it sparked a strong reaction.

At least were not talking about that kind of snow. We are not. Were talking about a little snow mixed with some rain and a little bit of a dusting. Nothing as substantial as that. Thats good news. But its just enough to be a news sans for a short period of time. The good news is its happening overnight and into the very early hours of sunday so its not on a day where people are commuting to work or anything of that sort which could just be a real pain. But nonetheless its still a little bit of winter making itself known. So we are definitely talking a chance of some rain and snow mixed in the overnight hours here and were dealing with a thats going to move its way in from tonight and thats what were keeping a close eye on. Its going to end on early sunday morning and were going to get some improvement but not before it leaves a bit of a scattered dusting, a little more in the Higher Elevations and theres a couple of areas where i cant rule out a little more accumulating. A calm weather pattern thats good news. But boy do we have a spring warmupcoming your way. In the meantime this is all the precipitation associated with the clipper system and its associated front to the south and this is now, the clipper system is actually right now to the eastern portion of ohio as it moves through. But this is going to move across our area in the overnight hours, early sunday morning youll see some of it, but it should be out of the picture early into the Morning Hours at about 9 00 or so. So well get a little bit of a break at that point. But we will get a very scattered dusting, a mixture of some rain and to areas of the Higher Elevations, a little more. However, south of the dc corridor, i cant rule out just a little bit more accumulation. Ill show you this on future cast. Here we go in the overnight hours, here to the south you can see along the i95 corridor where weve got a little bit more mix and a little bit more snow and right here as well where you see this blue. This is the 6 00 hour might pick up more than an inch there. Basically we are talking an inch or less overall for most of the entire region. And its out of here. Look at this. 9 00, 10 00 in the morning. Were going to see a ridge built in. And a clearing trend these clouds will be out of the way and were going to have a pretty nice sunday. Very fast moving clipper, very unorganized, not a lot of moisture with it. For the most part rain showers mixing with snow, little to know accumulation expected. Once we get past tonight into tomorrow morning it will be out of the picture and we can get back to sunshine and start to enjoy the day as that ridge of that ridge is going to be impactful because its going to stick around for most of the week and were going to start to see a nice southerly flow boost our temperatures. Highs tomorrow will be into the 50s and the jet stream giving us cooler air right now but that changes as the jet stream moves to the north, opens the door up for all that southerly air to move in and by wednesday, were going to have a run of about three days where we are going to be in the 70s and youre going to think that clipper system is nothing once you get to enjoy this. Not only are we going to have 70s,were going to have nice weather to go with it. Heres a look at your planner for tomorrow. By midday about 45 degrees. That rain snow mix early hours and by the 5 00 hour it will be about 48 degrees. Tonight, 35 for your overnight low. Winds from the southeast at 5 Miles Per Hour and as we push into tomorrow, our daytime high will be 50 degrees. And as i said once that rain snow mix gets out of the way, then were going to be pretty set up nice day goes. Here we go. Not bad at all. Look at wednesday. What a wonderful day at 75 degrees. Cant beat it. Take a look at the temperatures elsewhere. Weve got some upper 70s there also. Weve got nice weather just for you. Jim . Thank you, gwen.
