Village Recognizes Life-Saving Efforts

In a private ceremony before the regular Elmsford Village Board, Elmsford Department leaders and a small audience on Tuesday night, Mayor Robert Williams and Village Board recognized the heroic efforts made by several police and fire department members toward saving an infant’s life.

On November 8, 2012, Elmsford Police Sergeant Erik Marvin (left) and Fire Department EMS Lieutenant Alex Camacho (right), along with Valesia Henriques (not pictured), saved the life of a three month old infant who was choking and not breathing. Flanked by Marvin and Camacho is former Parking Enforcement Officer Theodore “Ted” Thomas who was recognized for his service as the Village Parking Enforcement officer, now retired.

ABG would also like to acknowledge the fine work of these individuals and congratulate them not only for receiving the awards, but for saving a young life. Their dedication, training and positive actions had an outcome everyone enjoys. Thank you for your service.
