A Madison man is recovering from a heart attack thanks to his quick-thinking loved ones and Madison's fire chief. "I really don't think I can personally take any credit because it's training that I've received from the department over the years and experiences that led to that. Like I said, the gentleman's wife did a spectacular job," said Fire Chief Steven Davis. Davis said it happened Saturday afternoon when a neighbor knocked on his door and said she needed help. The woman said her son-in-law was not breathing and that the man's wife had already begun chest compressions. Davis grabbed his portable automated external defibrillator, which all PulsePoint-verified responders carry, even while off duty, and ran over to help.
