Yesterday Milton Firefighters responded to a call of a man who fell off his bicycle. When they arrived the man was in cardiac arrest and a citizen was performing CPR. They shocked the man with the defibrillator and brought him back to life. Great job by the Lt. Mitch Sumner, Angel Calderon and Dan Finn along with Milton Police, Fallon ambulance and all others who helped save a life.
