George Redner III, Nicholas Redner and Joey Redner, who serve alongside their father George Redner Jr. at the fire department, all worked the medical emergency.
The three brothers working together and within the team structure to assist in the successful life sustaining effort said is definitely something special and unique, but each made sure to point out the save was an effort by all first responders on scene.

The Redner’s father listened intently as each described the experience, later saying the dinner table at home is like being at the firehouse because of the family involvement in the department.
Captain Robby Woram, the brothers noted, should also get credit since he asked Redner III to direct the life saving efforts because of his background as an EMT.
