According to the proclamation, Maninio was working at his full-time job as a Bucks County Ranger when he and Ranger George Vile responded to a call at the county park that the young man was attempting to hang himself from a tree. Maninio and Vile climbed the tree and were able to hold the young man while Maninio grabbed a knife and cut the strap the young man was using to try to kill himself.
Due to the actions of Maninio and Vile, the young man’s life was saved.
