TWO WAKE NEW HOPE FD CREWS RECEIVE AWARDS AT ANNUAL CARDIAC ARREST SAVE CEREMONY

May 21, 2019 – Every year Wake County EMS awards crews who perform an instrumental role in saving the lives of people in cardiac arrest. These patients are called into 911 not breathing and with no pulse, and through the combined work of the 911 dispatchers, Fire Department and Police Department First Responders, and Hospital personnel, the patient is able to survive, and are invited back at the annual event to meet the responders who (literally) saved their life.

This year, two Wake New Hope crews were recognized at the ceremony: Station 1 A-Shift, for a code save in April at I540 and Capital Blvd, and Station 1 B-shift for a code save in October on Capital Blvd.
