(Morris, Ind.) – A longtime volunteer firefighter was on a call when he suddenly went from helper to the one in need.
Ed Scheele, a 41-year volunteer with the Morris Volunteer Fire Department, had a medical emergency after being called out for a possible structure fire on April 24.
Luckily for Scheele, he was surrounded by trained personnel at the time.
