Narrative:

Rapid depressurization/emergency descent. During cruise flight at FL350, we got a cabin altitude warning message on MFDU. After confirming cabin altitude was 10000 ft and climbing, we donned the oxygen masks, completed the memory items and checklists, declared emergency, and descended to 10000 ft. We continued our flight to dfw at 10000 ft without further incident.
