| BIRDSBORO, Pa. -
A quick thinking EMT in Berks County was honored by the Birdsboro Council for helping save a woman's life.
Eric Cleveland of the Birdsboro-Union Fire Department was recognized during Monday night's Birdsboro meeting.
Officials said when Cleveland was at the Shady Maple Farm Market in East Earl Township, Lancaster County, he jumped into action to help a 78-year-old woman.
The woman had low blood sugar, and was having a stoke.
Cleveland was able to get her stabilized until more help arrived.
"I got into this career field so that I could do that, so I could make a difference for people whether it be for that moment or for a lifetime," Cleveland said.
Cleveland was also honored back in 2013, for resuscitating a woman who collapsed at the Berkshire Mall.
