MCLEAN, NY (607NewsNow) — McLean’s fire chief is a life saver.

According to McLean Fire and Rescue, Chief Calvin Carr was at Applebee’s on Friday night with his family when a woman at the table next to them began choking. Carr told staff to call 911 and performed the Heimlich maneuver. As the woman was turning blue, Chief Carr dislodged a piece of steak in her airway.

In a Facebook post, the department complimented the chief saying “well done.”
