On April 4th, Woodside firefighters and AMR responded to a medical emergency at a local construction site involving a worker in cardiac arrest. Through rapid intervention, teamwork, and immediate actions by coworkers on scene, the patient was successfully revived and is making a full recovery.

Today, our firefighters were honored to attend a luncheon with the crew members whose quick actions helped save their coworker’s life. Strong outcomes like this are made possible through teamwork, training, and a community willing to step in and help.
