D a v i d P . Sen i or Ductl i ne Mech a n i c One morning in late February of last year, Distribution Supervisor Thilenius along with Senior Ductline Mechanics Robert and David were setting up plans with a contractor at a job site in downtown Atlanta when they saw a small child walking from a gated apartment building dressed only in a shirt and pull-up. The group knew something was wrong when they didn’t see an adult with the child and the child began to walk into the street. They sprinted to the child, picked him up, and moved to a safe location where they asked him where his parents might be. The child answered that his mother was sleeping, and his father was at work. The crew called Atlanta Police, who found the child’s home – a second-floor apartment of the building where he was found – and reunited him with his mother.

Adam and Jeff were the first to respond. The contractor was trapped under the pole, but Adam and Jeff were able to free him and remove him from the danger zone. Adam helped the worker stay still and calm, checking him for life-threatening wounds while Jeff phoned for help.

Ch a d C . Protect i on a nd Control F i eld Serv i ces Support Te a m Le a der One afternoon on his way home from work, Protection & Control Field Services Support Team Leader Chad noticed a column of black smoke rising in the distance. Thinking at first it must be a neighbor who frequently burns brush on his farm, Chad soon learned that the flames were coming from a jet-ski trailer parked beside a nearby home. A heat lamp had been placed under a cover to combat the freezing temperatures for the upcoming night, which eventually heated the jet-ski's cover to combustion. The flames were rising nearly 30 feet into the air and brushing up against the adjacent home, threatening to ignite the entire property. Chad ran to the front door of the house and began ringing the doorbell and aggressively knocking but received no response. He decided to enter the house and began yelling for anyone inside. A young man finally answered, and Chad told him about the dangerous situation that was playing itself out just outside. A mother and daughter then came out of a nearby room and Chad helped them all get out of the house to a safer area where 911 was called. Chad then grabbed a water hose and began to try and contain the flames. When it did not work, Chad got another water hose from a neighbor and continued to try and beat back the fire until a volunteer firefighter arrived and helped extinguish the blaze.

While leaving a sporting event, Kelly's father collapsed while saying goodbye to his grandchildren. When Kelly reached him, his breathing was labored and sporadic and shortly after, stopped. Kelly's mother, a recently retired RN, could not detect a pulse at his wrist or at his neck. She also did a mouth sweep to check for anything restricting his airway. Kelly asked his wife to call 911 and he then started chest compressions. His mother administered two rescue breaths and then stopped so he could continue chest compressions. Kelly then asked a bystander to retrieve an AED located by the restroom that he had noticed earlier that night. He applied the AED and it began to analyze but did not advise a shock. Kelly continued compressions with the verbal aid of the AED and his father began to breathe again on his own after some time. EMS arrived on the scene and his father was transported to Piedmont Athens for care. He was released later that week with a heart monitor. The next Sunday while visiting, he received a call to immediately return to the ER after the monitor began detecting "heart block" episodes. Kelly immediately took him back to the ER and he was admitted to the ICU. The next morning, Kelly's father received a pacemaker. He has since returned home and is recovering well.

Lineworker Josh was stopped at an intersection while on his way to work one morning when a vehicle attempting to turn left pulled out in front of an oncoming car. The two cars collided, and in the aftermath one of the vehicles continued to roll downhill. Josh exited his vehicle, which had been hit by debris from the accident – and chased the moving vehicle down, opening the driver’s door and applying the parkingbrake before the vehicle went down an embankment. The driver’s airbags had deployed in the collision, and Josh was able to cut them out of the way and render aid to the driver – keeping her conscious and controlling the bleeding from her head injuries – until help arrived.
