Stan Prue

Field supervisor Billy Fletcher arrived just in the nick of time to rescue Officer Stan Prue, who was struck by lightning.

The night began like any other for Billy Fletcher. The field supervisor was hanging out in the Syracuse University Ambulance quarters talking with the other responders when the call bell went off.

Fletcher arrived on the scene at south campus to see officer Ed Weber pounding on the chest of his partner Stan Prue. With each thrust, a puff of smoke protruded out of Prue’s motionless body.
