30s Milk Delivery Worker Saves 60s Man Who Collapsed on Stairs at Night

"Saved Precious Lives Through Swift Response"

A man in his 30s who was delivering milk saved a woman who had lost consciousness and collapsed by performing CPR, a story that was revealed later.

According to the Jeonbuk Fire Headquarters on the 5th, around 11:51 p.m. on the 1st, a man in his 60s, Mr. A, suddenly lost strength and sat down on the stairs on the first floor of a one-room apartment in Yeongdeung-dong, Iksan City.

Mr. Kang (in his 30s), who came to deliver milk to this building and found Mr. A, called 119 and then spoke to Mr. A, asking, "Which floor do you live on? Can you walk if I support you?"

Mr. A answered in a faint voice but gradually lost consciousness. When Mr. Kang noticed that Mr. A was not breathing, he immediately laid him on the floor and performed CPR.

Then, paramedics who arrived after the report took additional measures, and Mr. A regained consciousness, was transported to the hospital, examined, and later discharged.

Mr. Kang said, "I saw a woman collapsed alone and couldn’t just pass by, so I spoke to her," adding, "I received CPR training in the military, and I’m glad I could help someone."

The Jeonbuk Fire Headquarters stated, "Since it was a late hour with few people around, Mr. A could have been in danger, but thanks to Mr. Kang’s prompt response, a precious life was saved."
