Rocky Bumgarner and Damon Holmes were both assigned to Squad 19 for the Wichita Fire Department on Sept. 14, 2010, when they responded to a call of an unconscious person at a local restaurant.Upon arrival at the scene, Bumgarner and Holmes gave immediate medical assistance to the victim who was unresponsive and cyanotic. Both Bumgarner and Holmes worked together to administer rescue breathing and applied an automated external defibrillator to determine the patient’s cardiac condition. After administering electric shocks on the patient, he began to show signs of improvement. Both firefighters continued medical care as the patient was taken to Via Christi Hospital, where he made a complete recovery.
Thanks to the heroic acts of these two firefighters, a man’s life was saved. |
