ROBBINSVILLE, NJ (MERCER)–Recently a few department personnel were presented with a Life Saving ribbon for an incident that involved a patient who experienced sudden cardiac arrest while at home. The patient had no pulse and was not breathing upon arrival. Fire department staff arrived and assisted with CPR and other life saving measures. The patient regained a pulse after intervention and was discharged from the hospital several days later.
This incident demonstrates the extensive training/abilities of our personnel and resulted in the best possible outcome for a Robbinsville resident.
