MARIETTA, GA - MetroAtlanta Ambulance Service Field Training Officer Devin Congleton received the Cobb Chamber Public Safety Employee of the Year award after helping save a 26-year-old woman shot in the abdomen on Jan. 28, the chamber said.

Congleton and her partner worked with fire personnel to control bleeding, then administered blood during a seven-minute transport to the hospital. Physicians later described the injuries as having a very low likelihood of survival; the woman lived. Congleton also trains new employees and fills in as a supervisor.
