The Marysville Fire District on Sept. 19 presented a Phoenix Award to nine members in honor of their actions to help save the life of a man who suffered a heart attack in his driveway.
The patient collapsed during the heart attack on June 20. Family members called 911 and his wife began CPR until Marysville Fire District crews arrived minutes later. Firefighters and paramedics were able to use a defibrillator to restart the patient’s heart before transporting him to the hospital where he was released days later.
Marysville Fire District Chief Martin McFalls presented the Phoenix Award to: Battalion Chief Keith Taylor, Capt. John Milless, Capt. Sam Eagle, firefighter-paramedics Trevor Trueax, Kevin Schroeder and Matthew Hickman, and firefighters Keoni Brown, Ryan Hardwick and Andrew Stebliy.
