PORT PERRY -- Three municipal employees are being hailed as heroes after they helped save the life of a colleague stricken by a heart problem.
According to Bev Hendry, Scugog's chief administrative officer, a veteran male employee in his 40s began suffering from cardiac problems late Tuesday afternoon while working in the basement of the municipal office on Perry Street.
Observing their colleague in distress, a trio of employees jumped into action and administered CPR and used a nearby defibrillator, said Ms. Hendry. Employees Kim Brady, Brian Trimble and Lona Williams are all applauded for their quick-thinking actions, noted the CAO.
"We're very proud of them," said Ms. Hendry.
A number of Township staff has been trained in the use of defibrillators, added the CAO.
Emergency crews also quickly arrived at the municipal office to assist.
As of Wednesday morning, the man remained in hospital.
