For the Reporter
The Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority recently presented the Outstanding Citizen Community Service Award to Cheri Dreiling, a nurse who used CPR to revive a 3-year-old who was pulled, unresponsive, from the pool of the SeaTac Marriott Hotel on March 7.
The award recognizes individuals who make an extraordinary contribution to the community.
Dreiling, who works for a Tacoma-area hospital intensive care unit, said she has performed CPR many times in the hospital setting. But this was the first time she’s ever used her skills outside of work and the first time she has administered CPR on a child.
