A St. Leonard firefighter, who collapsed at a house fire in Lusby Saturday night, was revived by the quick actions of fellow fire and rescue personnel.
The 56-year-old firefighter received CPR from crews who also applied an AED that delivered multiple shocks.
He was revived and flown by Maryland State Police helicopter to a cardiac care facility.
"We are relieved to share that he is currently in stable condition and has undergone a procedure to place three stents to address previously unknown blockages," St. Leonard fire officials wrote in a statement.
