LOUISVILLE, Ky. --
EMS officials are reviewing the way they handled an emergency involving a critically ill infant who stopped breathing Saturday.
Firefighters felt an ambulance was taking too long, so they took matters into their own hands.

About three minutes after the trucks left their firehouse, firefighters reported being at the scene. Two Metro Police units also reported being at the scene at 9:59.
As they waited for an ambulance to arrive, Adams said firefighters tried to revive E-Shaun.
"One of the little officers came and grabbed him and rushed him down the steps," she said.
According to city records, they rushed E-Shaun to Kosair Children's Hospital in the back of their squad car.
He later died at the hospital.
An ambulance arrived at the scene seven minutes after leaving west Louisville. Records show dispatchers informed them E-Shaun was already gone, so they headed to the hospital.

"So this is going to be one of those situations where we go back and look at who made the decision. What was the context leading up to those decisions, do we need to make any changes?" she said.
"I think they need to fix it. They need to fix it. Get more workers, if they have to. Get more cars," Adams said. "Anything to save people's lives, that's what they need to do."
