Defibrillator saved man's life


Rick Rockwood (center) credits the efforts of fire equipment operator Brad Bushey (left) and fire Capt. Joel Heikes (right), as well as quick CPR by George Balach, with saving his life. Bushey and Heikes used a heart defibrillator, which Bushey holds, to bring Rockwood back to life after he suffered a heart attack while playing basketball at the Boys and Girls Club in Duluth on Nov. 28.
