Field Save Award Recognition
In May of this year, Engine 3 and AMR successfully achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) on a 63-year-old male who suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Bystanders witnessed the arrest on a bicycle trail and initiated CPR prior to EMS arrival. On scene, CPR and a defibrillation resulted in ROSC. Upon achieving ROSC, the patient was transported to a local hospital. The patient was stabilized, transferred to another hospital for cardiology follow-up, and has survived without major neurological deficits.
Congratulations to Captain Kleefeld, Engineer Smith, and Firefighter Paramedic Pettinato! We are proud to recognize all three for their outstanding actions and dedication!
