From the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office’s social media pages:

On April 13, an HCSO detective and deputy were working a special assignment in the Eureka area when they saw a call for service regarding a four-week-old infant not breathing at a nearby residence.

The deputies responded immediately. HCSO Detective Nick Carnahan was first into the residence and began performing CPR on the infant until she was able to breathe again. It was later determined that the infant had aspirated and that Detective Carnahan’s quick actions saved the infant’s life.

This entire incident was captured via the responding deputy’s body worn camera. We are sharing it today with the permission of the family.
