Above The Call Of Duty For W.C. Sheriff Deputy

(Cleveland)- A call to a mobile home fire Friday  in south  White County  turned out to be more than just a routine  call for White County Deputy Hugh Warwick.  White County Fire Department Public Information Officer  Ana Newberry said the fire call came in  around 4:00 PM   at a residence on Eagle Rock Road.  

The first on scene was  deputy Warwick, as he assisted the male resident getting out of the home, White County Sheriff's  Captain Jim Couch said the homeowner insisted that the deputy help get his dog out first.  After the man was finally out of the home he became  upset that his little dog was not breathing, that's when the deputy went above and beyond the call.  Deputy Warwick performed CPR on the dog and a short time later the dog began breathing. 

The unidentified homeowner, who was not injured, praised the deputy for his action.  The American Red Cross  was called in to assist the homeowner, who's  mobile home was heavily  damaged by the fire.
