Woman Saves Firefighter with CPR
A former firefighter, Clark, suffered from sudden cardiac arrest after paying his dining bill last Mother’s Day.
If it hadn’t been for the stranger, a woman, who immediately began CPR, and the emergency responders who used a defibrillator, the ex-fireman would not be alive today.
Clark taught CPR for more than twenty years and urges everyone to get certified.
“It does work. It’s not that difficult to do,” Clark said.
Clark and his wife delivered cookies to the fire station along with his gratitude.
Be a hero. Learn CPR!
