Warrington police and fire personnel were recognized this week at the board of supervisors meeting - and by the man they helped saved - after responding to a call on the evening of April 29.
After 59-year-old Pine Code Road resident Chris Opdyke went into cardiac arrest, his wife Pat called 911. After Pat started CPR, police and firemen arrived and used an automated external defibrillators (AED) machine before Medics from Central Bucks Ambulance arrived.

This blog is brought to you by the volunteers at www.slicc.org
