HAZLETON, Pa. A little boy was celebrated this evening in Luzerne County with a parade fit for a hero.
Over one dozen fire trucks came out, flashing their lights and blowing their sirens for 8-year-old Jaxson Dempsey.
Earlier this month, Jaxson noticed his baby sister choking on a chicken nugget while riding in the car with his father.
Jaxson jumped into action and started hitting her in the back until the food was dislodged.
