Today, we had a special opportunity that many in this profession never get to experience — hearing a simple “THANK YOU” from a person who was once a stranger in cardiac arrest.

On June 29th, Monroe Fire Department Engine 3, A-Shift was the first fire unit to arrive on scene of a cardiac arrest call. Our firefighters immediately went to work, alongside an off-duty Monroe Police Officer who had stopped to help on her way home from her shift.

Shortly afterward, Union EMS paramedics and Ladder 4 firefighters arrived to assist. The team provided focused, coordinated CPR giving this patient the best possible chance of survival.

Today, we were grateful for the opportunity to meet Jeff and his wife and hear Jeff share his thanks with the people who were there when he needed them most.

From strangers in a moment of crisis to a story of survival, this is what teamwork and a community can accomplish.

Training Today | Rescue Operations

C Shift crews trained on industrial and structural collapse rescue scenarios focused on stabilization, lifting, and patient packaging.

Crews from Rescue 5, Ladder 1, Ladder 2, and Ladder 4 used Paratech struts, hydra fusions, and chain binders to stabilize the environment and prepare for patient removal.

This training reinforces repetition, communication, and equipment familiarity so crews are ready when real emergencies happen.

Train today. Perform tomorrow.

Great work by C Shift sharpening critical rescue skills.
