In December, Engine Company 15 responded to an EMS incident and assisted a female in cardiac arrest. On scene the husband was providing adequate compressions. Engine 15 crew took over patient care and provided timely ALS interventions, including delivering 2 shocks with the defibrillator. The patient had a full recovery and can be seen here with some of the Engine 15 crew members that responded; Captain Eric Peters, FE Tom Newland, FFP Eric Mailander, and FF Kara Danielsen. Engine 15 arrived on scene, continued CPR, established an airway and delivered the first shock within 5 minutes of dispatch! This quick and thorough action along with by-stander CPR allowed for a full recovery of the patient. Picture and story were approved for posting by the patient who wanted to thank the SJFD for their help.
