Man Thanks Branford First Responders For 'Saving His Life'

BRANFORD, CT — Branford first responders received a thank you letter recently from a man whose life they saved over the summer. The letter said, in part, that first responders brought the unnamed man back to life.

The man chose not to be named. “I can never express my gratitude to all that helped bring me back to life,” the letter went on to say.

Branford Fire Chief Thomas Mahoney said the incident the man referred to happened this past summer. “We received this note from a patient who survived (a) sudden cardiac arrest.

“This message says it all, this is what it’s all about folks,” Branford officials said on social media.

Local residents praised the fire department for its excellent work. One resident wrote, "BFD is one of the best!! They are quickly responsive and very kind, not only to the patients but to their families too! "
