MILFORD – When the fire call came in just before 1 a.m. last May 18, four Milford police officers rushed to 48 Dearborn St.

Officers Weston Vollheim and Dana Johnson were the first to arrive at the home; within moments, they were joined by officers Garret Booth and Christopher Blastos.

---

Together at an award ceremony at the Milford Police Station, the four officers involved in the attempt to rescue Ellen Cassidy during a house fire are, from left, Christopher Blastos, Dana Johnson, Weston Vollheim and Garret Booth.

---

"We found heavy smoke coming from the second floor of the residence," Vollheim recalled, "and all four of us ran in."

While Johnson and Booth surveyed the first floor, Vollheim and Blastos ran upstairs, yelling and trying to get a response from the two residents they believed were inside.

"Suddenly, we were facing a wall of smoke," Vollheim said. "There were four or five inches of breathable air near the floor, but otherwise we couldn't see at all."

As embers and debris started falling from the ceiling, Blastos stuck his head down into the clear air below the smoke and found Ellen Cassidy, 60, lying on the floor of a second-floor bedroom.

"He pulled her out and we brought her out of the house," Vollheim said.

Vollheim and Booth then started looking for Cassidy's son, but it turned out he wasn't home.

"We were wearing polyester, which is like kindling," Vollheim said, "and when more debris started falling, Officer Booth, who was the senior officer, ordered us to get out."

Once outside, Booth and Blastos decided to take one more look inside the house while Vollheim joined Johnson in administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation to Cassidy until the Milford Ambulance Service arrived.

"Unfortunately, we couldn't get her back," he said.

Cassidy died at the scene. Authorities said the cause of death was smoke inhalation. The fire was not considered suspicious.

Although the officers weren't able to save Cassidy, Vollheim said he wouldn't hesitate to try to save someone's life, even if it meant risking his own.

"I'm not interested in running into another burning building," Vollheim said, "but as police officers, we're often the first ones on the scene. If someone's trapped inside a burning building, we're going in."

Vollheim, Blastos, Booth and Johnson will be honored with New Hampshire Union Leader Hero Awards, presented in conjunction with Citizens Bank, at a reception at the State House in Concord Thursday.

The Hero Awards are given out annually to recognize the efforts of New Hampshire residents who risked their lives in attempts to save others.

Cambridge Who's Who Member Dr. Thomas W. Eckel

Easton, PA, April 1, 2007- , a psychotherapist with Bethlehem Counseling Associates, has been recognized by Cambridge Who's Who for his commitment to counseling individuals, families and couples. Eckel is also an accomplished songwriter, pianist and singer who has released five full-length CD recordings and toured nationally and internationally.

After obtaining his bachelor of arts in music from Berklee College of Music, Eckel took a position as a high school music teacher in New York City. He became close to many students and was treated as a de facto counselor, of sorts. Says Eckel,

"Although I thoroughly enjoyed teaching music, I realized that I took even more pleasure in counseling students through their problems."

This prompted Eckel to pursue a master of arts in school counseling from New York University. Once he accomplished this goal, Eckel worked as a counselor at a Yonkers high school while pursuing his doctorate in counseling psychology from Columbia University and Argosy University. Today in private practice, Eckel feels tremendous satisfaction when his clients grow and improve the quality of their lives.

Eckel has pursued his foremost passion, music, with equal fervor. He has recorded five full-length CDs, each accompanied by a music video. He toured in France, Italy and Spain as well as on the East Coast and sold 7,000 CDs from the truck of his car. His style has been influenced by Billy Joel, Elton John and The Beatles, among others.

According to Eckel, his career achievements can be chalked up to his drive, his ambition to succeed and his belief in education. A national board certified counselor licensed in four states, Eckel is also certified in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and is a board-certified hypnotherapist. Eckel is a member of the American Counseling Association and the Chi Sigma Iota honor society. To listen to a sampling of Eckel's music or to purchase his CD, visit http://www.thomaseckel.com.
