A Pair Of Trained Heroes
Scott Dunbar and Glenn Ward, electricians on the job (working
for M.F. Baker Electric), saved the life of 62-year-old Fred Fulks on Dec. 31,
2009, on a jobsite in Indiana, according to the Journal and Courier (of
Lafayette).
M.F. Baker pays for annual CPR training for its 15 employees,
according to the report. From Fulks, who suffered a massive heart attack: “I
was dead for a minute. The doctors told me that in another two minutes, I would
have died. Without Scott and Glenn, I wouldn’t be here today.”
