"Just doing my job. I do the same job that everybody with a badge does. We're there," said Cummings.

"How do you thank somebody for doing that? You can't. There are no words that can say you know what you feel as far as somebody saving your life," said Tischauser.

Tischauser spent five days in the hospital before going home.
