‘Honoring Our Own’ – Life Saving EMS Response on October 10, 2013
Updated On: May 06, 2014

On October 10, 2013, BCFD E32, R32 responded to a cardiac arrest call. Upon arrival the crew discovered a female in cardiac arrest while clinic staff performed CPR. They took over resuscitation efforts and delivered multiple shocks, secured the airway, and gave IV drugs to correct the ventricular fibrillation. About 10 minutes into the resuscitation the patient regained an organized rhythm with strong pulses and was transported to UNMH with R32 personnel riding in. During transport the patient maintained a good pulse and had signs of regaining consciousness. Upon arrival at the emergency department she went back into cardiac arrest and in ventricular fibrillation. The Paramedic from R32 initiated CPR in the ER with hospital staff now working the code. After 1 cycle of chest compressions the patient again had a return of an organized rhythm with a good pulse and this time opened her eyes and was looking around as well as making purposeful movement with her arms. The IAFF Local 244 Executive Board honored Station 32 on April 8, 2014 acknowledging Lt. Anthony Gonzales, Eng. Jacinto Dominguez,  Medic Steve Owensby, FF Daniel Flores and FF Jose Salaz for their efforts on this living saving call for service.
