The volunteer first responders saving lives
A County Tyrone man has said he is "eternally grateful" to volunteers for saving his life, after being told there was at least a two-hour wait for an ambulance.
Paul McAdam was cycling with his club on 29 December 2024 when he felt a tightness in his chest and he passed out at the side of the road.
The 54-year-old from Coalisland was having a heart attack.
The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) alerted the local Killeeshil/Galbally Community First Responders who treated him and drove him to Craigavon Area Hospital.
Paul McCaughey set up Killeeshil/Galbally CFRs in 2018, as an opportunity to support the local community in a rural area.
