With many years of combined experience in fire and EMS, members of the Moore family in Catlett, Virginia have performed CPR on cardiac arrest victims numerous times. It is unlikely the experience has ever been more personal than during the emergency that occurred on Friday.

Catlett Fire and Rescue President and Chief Driver Jim Moore collapsed in the day room at the firehouse around 9:00 AM. According to Catlett Chief Butch Flippo, two of the department's volunteer lieutenants and a captain were nearby. They are Jim Moore's sons, Jonathan, Jeremy and Mike.
Jonathan and Jeremy Moore pulled their dad onto the floor and began CPR. Captain Mike Moore coordinated the rescue efforts. They were assisted by other fire and EMS personnel.
Chief Flippo tells STATter911.com, in less than two minutes, a career medic at the station had a Lifepak 12 by Jim Moore's side. The medic shocked Moore twice. On the second attempt normal sinus rhythm returned. Jim Moore was taken to Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg where he underwent bypass surgery this morning.
Chief Flippo visited with Moore late today and reports he seems to be recovering nicely. Chief Flippo wrote about the Moore children, "I'm proud of their professionalism, even though it was their dad they were working on. Everyone held it together and did what was needed. I could not ask for better officers than that."
