Subject: County Employee Saves Baby
Sometimes heroes show up in the most unlikely places. This Is what happened an Tuesday,July 1ft when
Monroe County Public Works employee Montilla "Scott"Desquotte came to the old of a frantic mother of a 12
day oldWo-by grrL
Scott was working near Harry Harris Park when he noticed a commotion in a nearby driveway. When he
approached, the mother sold that the baby had stopped breathing and she was taking her to the
haspital. Scott informed the mother that the baby would not make the trip(she was already turning blue)and
began CPR. EMS had been called, and when Rescue arrived, the baby was breathing. The parents of the baby
girl have asked Scott to be her Godfather.
Scott is no stranger to stressful situations, having spent the last 20 years serving as a Volunteer Firefighter
with the Key Largo Volunteer Fire Department. This experience has reinforced the need to keep current on
training for basic life-saving skills.
Over the last year and a half, the Safety office and Monroe County Fire Rescue have been hosting CPR/First
Aid classes for County employees—with over 100 employees certified to date. Scott completed the class on
December 20,2013.
in the coming months, we will be offering CPR/First Aid/AED Certification classes up and down the Keys to
County employees. Please take advantage of these potentially life-saving classes. The next hero might be
you/
