Deputy Nick Howard has been given the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office Life Saving Award.
Howard was honored for his actions on January 26, when he saved the life of a person in their car.
While responding to a call, Howard saw a vehicle parked with the motor running.
Howard circled the truck and found a hose running from the vehicle’s exhaust pipe to the passenger side window.
After calling for EMS, he gained access through a broken window and opened all doors to give the occupant fresh air.
Howard attempted to revive the victim until paramedics arrived and the victim’s life was saved.
