Poughkeepsie city firefighters and the department's ex-chief are being hailed
heroes after they helped bring a man back to life.
Marc
Vandewater went into cardiac arrest as the 4 p.m. Palm Sunday service was
beginning at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church.
According
to the man's son, David Vandewater,
everybody in the church jumped to action, including a former fire chief
who was in
attendance.
David Vandewater says firefighters Tom Davison, Dan Richards, Ron Holder,
Andy Clegg and ex-chief Mark Johnson brought his father
back
to life after he was unresponsive for 14 minutes.
“Thank
you to everybody who stepped up and had a hand in helping my father be where he
is today,” said David Vandewater.
His
father remains hospitalized but is doing much better.
