Off-duty paramedic honored for saving a life, humbled that he could not do more

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — He could not save the life of everyone trapped inside the burning van on April 24 of last year, but he was able to rescue one of them. Six people died in a rollover crash at the I-85/I-985 split in Gwinnett County. The death toll would have reached seven if it were not for off-duty American Medical Response Paramedic Captain Kyle Brule.
Brule was at the right place, at the right time.
“So I know it had just happened,” Brule said. “I saw the smoke coming up. She needed to be pulled out immediately. I did the best I could.”
