Earlier this month, while playing basketball off duty, Firefighter/ Advanced EMT Phillip Shamburger witnessed an individual suffering from a medical episode. After assessing the situation, Firefighter Shamburger determined that CPR was necessary and began life saving measures, including compressions and multiple defibrillations with the on site AED, before Las Vegas Fire & Rescue resources arrived and took over patient care.

The individual was transferred to the emergency room, where he continued to receive intensive care and cardiac related surgery. We are happy to report that he is recovering well.

We are very proud of Firefighter Shamburger and his efforts that certainly played a roll in saving the young man’s life. This is a true testament that your Las Vegas Firefighters are never truly ‘off duty’. We are proud to represent our members, who will passionately care for those in need, whether in uniform or not.
