Man Meets Arlington First Responders Who Saved His Life

ARLINGTON, MA — A man who survived a heart attack last fall met the Arlington first responders who helped safe his life. Firefighters and paramedics found Kevin Gould in cardiac arrest when they responded to a reported heart attack last October, town officials said.

Crews immediately began CPR and attached a defibrillator. They continued to work on Gould on their way to the hospital, ultimately regaining a pulse. He has since made a full recovery.

Gould and his wife, Jeanne, recently stopped by the Arlington Fire Department and met the responding firefighters and paramedics. The fire department said Gould is still receiving rehab but has been able to enjoy vacations and everyday life once again.
