It was just after 2 a.m. on New Year’s Day when two members of the Cottonwood Shores Volunteer Fire Department (CWSVFD), Chief Travis Hockensmith and Firefighter Thomas Jacobs, helped paramedics from the Marble Falls Area Emergency Medical Service (MFAEMS) save the life of a man in the city after being called to a house where a man was reported unconscious and not breathing.

On Dec. 19, Firefighter Bobby Amick assisted Cottonwood Shores Police Department officers perform CPR on a similar call. In that case, a woman had been choked to unconsciousness by her husband.
