A Georgia man named Brian who was playing pickleball in Alpharetta Georgia in December suffered a heart attack in December had the assistance of a bystander who performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the heart attack victim until first responders came.
The firefighters took over where the bystander who was trained in CPR to take the heart attack victim to Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center where Brian made a full recovery.
Brian recently got to meet his heroes at the fire station to thank them for saving his life which is a very nice gesture on his part.

You are right that firefighters do not get enough praise from people that they save.

It was good that his heart was not permanently affected by his heart attack, which a quick response can prevent from happening.
Brian would be glad that a bystander jumped in, and did what he did, and so he made a full recovery. Such training is invaluable, as one never knows when it will be called for.
