Fire Chief David Jones recognized Addison Police Officer Schieck and Detective Caravella on May 16 for saving a man’s life on the night of April 7. When they were not on duty, the officers were alerted of an unconscious person at a restaurant nearby. They quickly headed to that location and found an unresponsive adult male, with no pulse, and not breathing. After the officers began CPR and used an automated external defibrillator (AED), they were able to revive the patient. The fire department crew, which quickly responded to the call, was able to rapidly transport the patient to the hospital. Thank you all for your quick and selfless actions!
