TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Tallahassee fire fighters constantly train to help save lives and rescue people from life threatening situations.
It’s that very training that helped them save the life of one of their own recently. On Nov. 14, firefighters Steve Box, 55, was taking part in physical fitness training at the Tallahassee Fire Department’s training grounds at 2964 Municipal Way. Dressed in a firefighter coat, helmet and air pack, Box was making his way through the course.
He was making his way up the stairs of a five-story training tower when he suddenly became unconscious. More than seven fellow firefighters quickly rushed to aid putting their life-saving training into action. They quickly began CPR after assessing that Box had gone into cardiac arrest and wasn’t breathing.
