Successful Resuscitation
In late January 2024, LCFD crews responded to a person in cardiac arrest. Once on scene the LCFD crew located the individual and began CPR compressions along with advanced interventions. The quick actions of notification, dispatch and response led to the successful return of circulation for the individual. Our hospital partners informed LCFD that the patient was able to be discharged to a rehabilitation center for further recovery.
