Mobile Fire-Rescue Saves Life At Parade
By Steve Alexander, WKRG News
Quick action by Mobile Fire-Rescue teams Monday night saved the life of a fifty year old man at the beginning of the Mardi Gras parade route.
The man suffered cardiac arrest about 90 minutes before the Infant Mystics parade.
Captain Shaun Hicks with Mobile Fire-Rescue said, "We had a 'witness' cardiac arrest. Police officers were on the scene."
The man had suddenly collapsed against a barricade.
Hicks said, "Fortunately, there were some off-duty firemen that were working the parade detail as far as pulling floats. They responded and began CPR on the individual until our bike teams and our rescue truck could arrive about four minutes later."
