On January 24, 2023, Tim MacDonald, a gas technician at NorthWestern Energy Huron Ops Center, demonstrated quick thinking and compassion while exiting the facility. Instead of his usual route down Lincoln St., MacDonald took Nevada St. where he unexpectedly encountered an elderly man who had fallen to the ground. Tim promptly assisted the individual, ensuring their comfort and contacting emergency services. Thanks to MacDonald’s swift actions, the man received medical attention and was later diagnosed with a stroke. MacDonald’s intervention likely saved the man’s life, highlighting his dedication to helping others in need.
