On Wednesday night, emergency responders in Lawrence County attended to a total of eight service calls. Among these incidents were several auto accidents, an automatic aid structure fire, and a critical medical emergency involving a patient who was found unresponsive and without a pulse. Fire and EMS teams quickly arrived on the scene, administering advanced life support and assistance from bystanders. Thanks to their prompt and effective intervention, the patient exhibited stable and viable life signs by the time they were transported to a medical facility for further care.
In addition to these urgent responses, over 20 students, along with numerous instructors, dedicated four hours to practicing vehicle extrications, despite the challenging rainy conditions. This training session marked the third night of a five-night program aimed at achieving certification in vehicle extrication. The commitment of these individuals to enhance their skills is commendable, and we extend our gratitude to all emergency personnel for their unwavering dedication and ongoing efforts to improve safety in Lawrence County.
