A Spokane, WA mechanic saved a baby who had turned blue after the man was alerted to the emergency by a smartphone app, a report by Mirror says.

Jeff Olson, a master technician, was able to respond the situation when he was alerted through a notificaion on Pulse Point, an app that informs users about certain emergency situations in their area.

The 1-month-old infant was at a store called Empire Dance Shop when he stopped breathing. Store clerk Lesley Reckord, a former lifeguard, was informed of the situation and immediately called 911, said Starcasm.

Incidentally, the Spokane Fire Department had connected its dispatch center to the app.

"It sounded like an Amber Alert, you know how they come out, and so I looked at it and it said CPR needed and it gave the address," said Olson, who spoke with local newspaper KXLY.

Upon reaching the store, he was pointed to the baby in distress. He immediately performed CPR, saving the baby. Paramedics were still on their way when Olson was able to resuscitate the child.

"I asked the lady standing outside, 'Do you have a medical emergency here?' And she said it's an infant and he's blue. I just kind of, you know, just suck up a little bit," he said.

"This guy just came out of nowhere and scooped the baby up and really knew what he was doing which was such a blessing to all of us," said Reckord.

Although a trained volunteer, this was the first time he found himself in such a situation.

"I don't think I've ever done CPR on an infant before or even rescue breathing and when I got done, I shook for about ten minutes, you know," he said.

This was also the first incident where the fire department connected Pulse Point to its dispatch center.

"The real reason we are so invested in this technology is that you can be a lifesaver," said Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer. "This is one of the only apps that you can download by which, if you know CPR, you can actually save somebody's life," he said.
