Cintas Heroes

Mike Newman:
Outstanding Cintas Hero

Mike was on his way to start his route when he came upon a woman who had fallen asleep at the wheel and driven into a hydro pole (utility pole). Mike parked his truck and ran to the woman’s aid. The impact had split the pole in half, causing the transformer to dangle above her car. In addition, the car smelled of gas and fumes and Mike could tell it was burning. Putting his first aid training to the test, Mike assessed her condition and found a safe way to pluck her from the vehicle without coming into contact with the live wires thrashing about. He took her back to his truck, covered her with his Cintas jacket and comforted her until rescue crews arrived.

Although she was in shock, the woman reportedly recovered from the accident, and is no doubt grateful for the compassion that was shown to her that day by our own Cintas hero.

Congratulations to Mike Newman, our newest Outstanding Cintas Hero
for 2012!
