Todd Siebold Receives MEA Life Sustaining Award

We are extremely grateful that he reacted quickly to save the life of a stranger.


BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (PRWEB)

MEA Energy Association (MEA) is honored to present Todd Siebold, a gas utility mechanic for WEC Energy Group – Wisconsin Public Service, with a Life Sustaining Award for saving a young man’s life.

Siebold was driving to a job site when he saw a young man running erratically along the road. The man fell into a ditch but managed to get up and run into a power pole before falling again. Through his rearview mirror, Siebold noticed that the individual did not get up a second time, so he pulled over and called 911.

Siebold went to the man’s location to make sure he was visible and stood by until the police arrived. The police recognized that he was overdosing and administered two shots of Narcan before the ambulance arrived. The young man was taken to the hospital and the police thanked Siebold for his actions. The individual would have died from the overdose had he not received help.

“MEA is honored to present this Life Sustaining Award to Todd,” said John Gann, MEA Vice President. “We are extremely grateful that he reacted quickly to save the life of a stranger. His actions are a testament to his character and to the training he received as a Wisconsin Public Service employee.”

Wisconsin Public Service serves electric and natural gas customers in northeast and central Wisconsin and has been an MEA member since 2008.
