White began performing CPR on the male and called for assistance. West Grey Fire Fighters along with Grey County Paramedics were quick to arrive and assist Sgt. White in resuscitating the man. After hard work and team effort, James Wilmer survived what was later diagnosed to have been a heart attack.
