Kurt Kidwell accepted the Life-Saving Award on behalf of the PG&E crew that rescued a choking baby earlier this year
When a PG&E General Construction crew saved a choking baby’s life earlier this year, the story quickly spread across the country, and the crew became infamous.
The crew was comprised of IBEW 1245 members Facundo Ronquillo, Kjol Turner, Art Mayfield, Noah Studebaker and Mark Hockenberger, along with IFPTE-ESC member Kurt Kidwell and supervisor Dustin James. The IBEW International Office recently bestowed the prestigious Life-Saving Award upon the crew, and at the October Advisory Council meeting, Business Manager Tom Dalzell presented the award to Kurt Kidwell, who accepted it on behalf of the crew.
“This award celebrates a crew that used a skill that we all learn but hope we never have to use,” said Dalzell.
