Baby boy gets trapped 8 feet down home’s heating vent after fall, Oregon cops say

A 10-month-old boy has been rescued after falling down the heating vent in his home, police said.

Saydie Reedy of Coburg, Oregon, was washing dishes on Jan. 15 and hadn’t heard from her sons in two minutes, according to Oregon Live. Her 3-year-old son Jackson ran up to her and said, “Baby in!”

Reedy looked around the house and couldn’t find Kolson, her 10-month-old, Oregon Live reported. She asked Jackson where he was and he pointed at the heating duct in the floor.

The family was renovating the 1920s home and Reedy thinks Jackson pulled the vent up, according to News Channel 9. Reedy called 911.

The Coburg Police Department arrived and officer Kevin Wilson crawled under the house, where he found Kolson 8 feet down in the vent. He lifted the baby and other officers grabbed him, WBRC reported.

“He didn’t break character once,” Reedy told OregonLive. “When the officer lifted him up out of the crawlspace and handed up, the first thing he did was glare at the officer.”

Aside from “a few scratches,” Kolson was unharmed, according to WBRC.
