February 16, 2008

Station 82 was dispatched along with station 70 and SCEMS to assist Rehoboth beach with a working house fire. First arriving crews found heavy fire in an attached garage with extension into the house. Station 82 crews assisted with fire suppression, roof ventilation and overhaul. One occupant of the home was treated and transported for smoke inhalation. Also a Rehoboth Beach Firefighter went into cardiac arrest on scene. This was witnessed by the RIT team from Bethany Beach who immediatly began CPR. They connected him to the AED which advised to shock. One shock was delivered which restored heart beat and breathing. Other firefighters from Rehoboth and Lewes, including a couple of off-duty paramedics, assisted with the care of their fallen brother. EMS 100 (paramedic supervisor) quickly arrived on scene and the firefighter was transported to BMC shortly after. Good Job to all invloved with the fire operations and the saving of a fellow firefighter. (See Audio/Video section for video of the fire)
