While clearing away snow after a storm, a woman with a heart condition called for emergency medical assistance. Firefighters who responded not only treated her but also went above and beyond their duty by shoveling the sidewalk to her home.
Heather Driscoll, from Arvada in Colorado, told CBS4 that she had always lived with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), a condition that causes one’s heart to speed up, sometimes for no reason. Driscoll explained her condition usually is under control and doesn’t cause her many issues. However, while shoveling in front of her house after a snowstorm one Tuesday in November 2019, she felt something severe happening.
