On the early morning of July, 18, 2013 Engine 20 was dispatched to a 10 Delta with R16, Upon arrival Engine 20 found a man complaining of severe left sided chest pain. While the crew administered appropriate care during the initial assessment the patient suddenly stopped breathing. They aggressively treated him and applied the AED, the patient was pulseless and in V-fib. CPR was performed and after a brief moment of chest compressions the patient sat up and began asking, “What’s going on.” R16 arrived on scene and the patient was transported to the Heart Hospital. As the patient was leaving the scene he was yelling, "thank you for saving my life!"

Later we discovered the patient suffered a blockage in the main artery to his heart and is on the road to recovery. This is a rare and extraordinary event and the IAFF Local 244 recognizes members; Driver Brian Fox, Firefighter Joseph Garcia, Firefighter Scott Summers and Firefighter Jonah Donnarumma.
