For 17 years, Josh Milne has made it his mission to save lives.
“Helping people is my favorite part of the job,” he said.
As a firefighter and paramedic for Gilbert Fire and Rescue, he’s had plenty of opportunities to do so.
On Tuesday afternoon, he got to do it again by being in the right place at the right time.
Milne had just finished a day of live training at the Gilbert Public Safety Training Facility. He was headed home for a wedding anniversary dinner.
After pulling out of the facility’s parking lot onto Power Road in Gilbert, he would have a date with destiny.
“I was alerted by a passerby with his horn that something was going on,” he said.
Not aware of what was going on, or why another driver was blaring his horn, Milne would soon understand why.
