Four Kewanee firefighters were saluted Monday for saving the life of an ambulance patient.
During Monday’s City Council meeting, Mayor Gary Moore praised firefighters Andrew Welgat, Tim Doubek, Phil Esquer and Joe Rediger for their work to revive the patient.
The patient, a Courtyard Estates resident, was being transported on the ambulance when the incident occurred, the mayor said. The four firefighters were able to revive him and get him to the hospital.
Moore said the firefighters would probably say they were just doing their jobs, but he feels they are a great credit to the fire department.
