Off-duty firefighter saves man’s life on golf course

A FIREFIGHTER saved a 70-year-old man’s life after he suffered a heart attack on a golf course.

Cork-based lead fireman Jerry Crean was off duty and enjoying a round of golf at Kinsale Golf Club’s Farrangalway course in Co Cork on Sunday when the man collapsed on the fourth green.

Jerry, a married father-of- two from Frankfield, and who has been a firefighter for 26 years, rushed to the scene and found the casualty had no pulse.
