Northwest OH Fire School Incident

[firenresq77]

FYI.......... I have learned that an instructor for one of the classes collapsed in the classroom today during a break from the class. CPR was initiated and Security from BGSU (could be police also. Not sure which) arrived with an AED and it indicated a shock. When they shocked him, they got a pulse back. Apparently he was awake and talking when they were taking him away. Glad to hear the AED worked and it just goes to show how much they are needed in public places.

This was not a hands on class. This was a strictly classroom course dealing with "What's new in the fire service" type stuff.

Hope you're back to work soon, Chief.


Am I allowed to post a name??????? Can any of you HIPAA guru's tell me?

Well if I had to pick a place to have a SCA, a room full of Firefighter/EMTs would be pretty close to the top of my list!

Get well soon Brother.

I would NOT post an a name .......for 2 reasons ............one dignity of the person, and 2 HIPPA (just in case). In the mean time have a speedy recovery Chief.

I was in the Saturday session of this class, so this news gave me a bit of a twilight zone moment

Here's to a full and rapid recovery for the chief.

2 of the first medics their was from my department according to what I heard.....It was Campus police with the AED. Your right though......great place for a SCA.

THESE are the kinds of stories we need to hear about! It's awful to go through stuff like this, but a more favorable outcome could not be had. Best of luck to our brother.
