In a matter of minutes on Feb. 3, O'Halloran, who is also a member of Pipefitter's Local 597, would be part of an impromptu three-man team that rescued a woman from her car as it was sinking into the muck of a retention pond. The 47-year-old woman had passed out behind the wheel of her car, which went down an embankment and into the retention pond.
"I heard someone say they needed tools, but I wasn't in a service truck and all I had was a screwdriver," O'Halloran told The NEWS. "Another guy, Bill Duggan [off-duty police officer] was already on the car, trying to break the glass to get her out."
