On the evening of Wednesday the 21st this team was recognized for thier efforts in saving the life of one of our residents. The patient had went into cardiac arrest and was treated initially by arriving officers by providing excellent CPR and using the AED. When EMS arrived the relieved officers of CPR br applying the LUCAS device, administering life saving medication and rapid transport to Mountain View Hospital. The patient is doing well and was present at the meeting to offer her gratitude. The patient was one of our very own members when the association was in its early stages. It was heart warming to have this service go full circle and return the service to one who had previously dedicated herself to providing it for years.
Her husband had also served for many years on the fire department and has been the fire chief. Thanks to both of them for help building Salem's Emergency Responders so It could become what it is today.
Congratulations on a job well done!
