As in so many areas, we often remember the idiots and forget the decent people.

However, I had a sharp reminder of just how many great people there are out there recently.

Strangers going about their day to day business when someone collapsed in front of them.

In the blink of an eye, these wonderful members of the public went from wondering what they were going to have for dinner that night to finding themselves following the instructions of an unknown voice on the end of the phone and doing their utmost to save the life of somebody they’d never met.

Not just those actively performing CPR either.

The person/people that ran out to guide the crews to the location.

Those that raced off to grab nearby AEDs, one actually jumping in their car to race to a nearby large venue, knowing that they’d have one.

And the others that helped control the area as both incidents were in public places.

To these members of the public, I and all of my colleagues salute you.

You did an incredible thing under the hardest of circumstances and restored my faith in the goodness of humanity.

Thank you.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
