WATCH: Warminster Man Meets EMTs Who Saved His Life
In a heartwarming encounter Wednesday, a Warminster man met the EMTs he credits with saving his life after having a heart attack in January.
In January, Michael Borish had a heart attack. His brother called 911.
The Warminster resident recalls laying on his living room floor, "thinking how preposterous it was that I was about to die at the young age of 64."
He was "fervently hoping" paramedics would come to his home and save his life.

"You have my eternal gratitude," Borish said to Andrew Gaito and David Cell of Central Bucks EMS.
Central Bucks EMS posted a live Facebook video of the heartwarming encounter, which culminates with Borish giving the pair sentimental gifts of appreciation.
"This is the way the world is supposed to work. All of your training, experience, skill, dedication to your profession, is designed to save lives. That is why and how my life was saved by you," Borish said.
