Matthew Tirschwell, an experienced EMT with the Gotham Volunteer Ambulance Corps, performed a heroic rescue at the 86th Street subway station after a civilian fell onto the tracks. Upon arriving at the scene, Tirschwell instinctively jumped down to assist the victim, demonstrating his quick thinking and dedication to duty. Despite the risks involved with the live third rail, his readiness—always carrying a tourniquet—allowed him to act swiftly in a life-threatening situation, ultimately saving the individual's life.
"I heard a commotion, and people started to run away. When I reached the top, I saw a police officer running downstairs and thought, 'This isn't good.'"
"As a seasoned volunteer EMT, Tirschwell knew this could mean a serious, life-threatening emergency, and as it happens, he always carries a tourniquet with him."
