Council President Connie MacDonald presents a commendation to the volunteer fire fighters and police officers.

Several Ellwood City volunteer firemen and two Ellwood City officers attended yesterday’s council meeting while Council President Connie MacDonald read their commendation.

On October 4th, a man working at Blank Concrete and Supply Co. went into full cardiac arrest, police officers Matthew Kennedy and Robert Magnifico were first to arrive on scene and immediately started CPR.

Together both the officers and firefighters performed life-saving techniques on the man including using an AED to stabilize him while waiting for paramedics to arrive.

Due to the fast action of these men, the patient is expected to make a full recovery and will be released from the hospital.
