Young woman puts both daugh
A young mother in Cedar Falls sparked local attention after rushing her two toddlers into a fire station for emergency help.
Officials say Emma Lowell arrived panicked, carrying both girls after they suddenly began coughing and feeling dizzy while playing near some bushes at a neighborhood park.
Unsure what caused the reaction, she ran to the nearby Cedar Falls Fire Station.
Firefighters immediately checked the children, provided oxygen, and called paramedics.
Doctors later confirmed the girls had an unexpected allergic reaction—likely from pollen or a plant they touched.
Thanks to Emma’s quick thinking and the firefighters’ fast response, both children fully recovered within hours.
The Cedar Falls Fire Department praised Emma for responding calmly and decisively, and community members expressed relief and support.
The family is now home and healthy, offering a reminder to stay alert when kids explore outdoors.READ MORE BELOW
