Toddler Saves Her Father's Life

Ask me a question, or leave
me a comment.

Alesaundra Tafoya, 3, walked
2 blocks to Fire Station 243,
fire-house the family goes by
regularly.

Alesaundra Tafoya's parents taught
her what places in their Northern
California community were safe to
go for help. She told fire-fighters
that her father was frozen and
wouldn't wake-up, according to reports.

"I've been here over 20 years," Captain
Robert Villalovoz remarked. "It's the
first time I've had a 3-year-old walk
up to the fire station."

Alesaundra took rescuers back to her
house. Her father was "sitting in the
living room, needing medical care,"
Villalovoz said.

Frank Tafoya, Alesaundra's father,
"took a mixture of medication I wasn't
supposed to at the time, a bed-time dose,
and I guess I collapsed." It's reported
that doctors commented that without prompt
medical attention, Frank Tafoya would have
died.
