The Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office recently recognized a six-year-old boy, Mason Rasmussen, for courage and quick thinking in taking action to help save his grandmother's life.

That's according to a post on the agency's website.

Accroding to the post, on the morning of December 19, Mason woke up to his grandmother's alarm and started getting ready for school. He walked into his grandmother's room and noticed she was on the floor, unresponsive. The boy then dressed and went to school. The first chance he had he told a teacher about what he had seen.

Thanks to his actions, first responders arrived on the scene to save the life of his diabetic grandmother, Kimberly Gibson.

His actions were recognized by deputies on Friday morning with a special ceremony to honor his actions.
