MD. FIREFIGHTER HAS HEART ATTACK AT FIRE SCHOOL, SAVED BY FELLOW FFs

On Friday, August 6, 2021, at approximately 9:40 a.m., firefighters and staff at the Joseph Sacco Firefighter and Safety Training School located at the Seafarers Harry Lundeberg School of Seamanship in Valley Lee, reported one unknown aged male not breathing.

The day started like any other day for the training staff, crews were performing live fire training to recertify the students in Basic Fire Fighting. After one of the evolutions had completed, the students went into the gear room to remove their firefighting gear, while doing so, one of the students suffered a medical emergency.

Staff members were present and witnessed the student fall to the ground and immediately rendered aid. It was found that the student was pulseless and not breathing. The staff immediately began CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and called 911.

Assisted by other staff on scene they applied the AED (automated external defibrillator), and a shock was advised, the AED provided the shock and CPR continued.

A short time later the student had ROSC (Return of spontaneous circulation) and began breathing on his own. The patient was transferred to the staff of the Second District VFDRS ambulance and Medic 1 (Advanced Life Support Unit).

The staff at the Joseph Sacco Firefighting and Safety Training School are local volunteers with the Bay District Volunteer Fire Department, the Valley Lee Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad, and the Seventh District Volunteer Fire Department, and we wanted to congratulate them on a job well done!
