A November 911 call began with two strangers walking past a West Bend man who had fallen in his driveway while shoveling and ended with his life being saved.The two bystanders called 911 after hearing a dog barking, seeing the man on the groundbelieving he had suffered a heart attack. When they told Dispatch Supervisor Karen Alliet that none of them knew CPR, she walked them through it step by step until officers arrived. By the end of the call, the man was breathing again. Alliet said acting fast made all the difference."Intervening very quickly is the life saving difference between, is this person going to survive?" she said. "Being able to get that CPR started right away is what made all the difference for him."Officers David Brehm and Christopher Brook responded to the scene, continued CPR, and kept the man alive. "Without dispatch giving proper directions to the citizen that observed him and relaying that information to us," Brehm said. "It's a possibility that it didn't work."Watch: West Bend dispatcher, officers honored with award after talking bystanders through CPR First responders honored with life-saving awardBrehm said the moment reminded him why he chose law enforcement."That's why you get into law enforcement to help people," he said.
