Today, June 10, 2026, 4 members of our Department, alongside members of the Charles County Volunteer Rescue Squad and employees from Charles County Department of Emergency Services, were recognized by Mr. Billy Maddox for a CPR life save that occurred back in August 2025.
Crews responded to Mr. Maddox’s residence for a medical emergency and arrived to find him in cardiac arrest. Through the quick actions, teamwork, and dedication of everyone involved, crews worked tirelessly for several minutes to revive him — and were successful.
Surviving a cardiac arrest with a positive outcome is rare, making this reunion even more meaningful. Today, Mr. Maddox had the opportunity to personally meet and thank the crews who played a role in saving his life.
We are extremely proud of each and every member involved in this incident and grateful for the partnership between our public safety agencies that helps make outcomes like this possible.
Congratulations to all involved on a job well done, and we continue to wish Mr. Maddox good health and happiness.
