In a powerful example of compassion and community spirit, Elhanan Ivgi, a volunteer paramedic with United Hatzalah’s Ramat Beit Shemesh branch, went far beyond the call of duty to support a grieving family in their time of need, Shemesh News reports.

Ivgi, who also works as an air conditioning technician, was dispatched to a home in Beit Shemesh for a critical CPR emergency. As he worked tirelessly to save the patient’s life, he couldn’t help but notice the extreme heat inside the home.

There was no air conditioning, and the sweltering conditions made an already tense situation even more difficult.
