In the early afternoon hours of June 3rd Ambulance 750 and Engine 750 responded for a report of "one not breathing" at the pool inside Building 17. Units arrived on the scene to find a young man who had been revived by on duty personnel and bystanders prior to our arrival. The patient was rapidly transported to a local ER by Ambulance 750. It is believed that the total time between 911 activation and arrival at the ER was less than 9 minutes, with a total time from the patient being found in the pool to arrival at definitive care at somewhere around 11 minutes total.
NSAB F&ES would like to give an "oustanding job" to the staff and bystanders at Building 17 for their quick action which resulted in saving this young man's life.
Anyone seeking additional information on this incident can contact the NSAB Public Affairs Office.
