Off Duty Yonkers FD lieutenants make save at Ardsley Football game

[BFD1054 1,552]

ARDSLEY The action wasn't just on the football field this weekend at Ardsley's homecoming.

As the Panthers took on the Irvington Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon, an 83-year-old man stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest after apparently trying to eat a hamburger, officials said. Luckily for him, two off-duty Yonkers fire lieutenants were at the game, saw the man on the ground and sprinted about 25 yards toward him.
