On October 7, a man was attempting to change a tire at Adams Furniture when the vehicle fell on him. O’Brien, who is a tow truck driver at Paul’s Towing, overheard the call on the scanner and immediately sprang into action to arrive on the scene along with responding officers. He was able to assist by lifting the vehicle with his jack to free the man so that officers could conduct CPR until paramedics arrived to stabilize the man and transport him for medical care. “We are truly thankful for residents like Derek who are willing to jump into action to help others in a time of need,” said Mayor DeMaria. “Going above and beyond to provide assistance to someone who needs it is something that should be highlighted, so it was a pleasure to present this recognition on behalf of the City of Everett. I’d also like to highlight our Everett police officers and first responders for the work they constantly do every day to help others and protect our community.” RON’S OIL Call For PRICE MELROSE, MA 02176 NEW CUSTOMER’S WELCOME ACCEPTING VISA, MASTERCARD & DISCOVER (781) 397-1930 OR (781) 662-8884 100 GALLON MINIMUM SABATINO/MASTROCOLA INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 Auto * Home * Boat * Renter * Condo * Life * Multi-Policy Discounts * Commercial 10% Discounts * Registry Service Also Available Sabatino Insurance is proud to welcome the loyal customers of ALWAYS READY TO SERVE YOU: Our Staff are, Emma Davidson, Jeimy Sanchez, Josephine Leone, Marie D’Amore, Rocco Longo, Z’andre Lopez, Anthony DiPierro, Darius Goudreau, Laurette Murphy, Danielle Goudreau and Tina Davidson.
