12:08p - All clear west of the blue line for round #1. The afternoon round is being assessed as these storms move east, but for many of us this likely limits the potential later today. Stil, some areas along I-70 will have to watch closely.

This evening we were visited by our Regional EMS Director who recognized an Arrow Ambulance crew and several members of our fire department for outstanding care provided during a recent call for a person having a cardiac emergency.

Members were presented with challenge coins noting “Recognition For Excellence In Service.”

The Director noted that nationally, out of every 10 patients who experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital, only 10% recover without neurological defect. He also noted that this was the second such call our department was involved with in the past month that had a similar positive outcome for a patient.

Proud of our team and their commitment to providing excellent care!
