Today, we celebrate the impact that First Responders make in their community. Yesterday, we saw first hand what they do. A response from Parkway and Spruce Pine first responders, Mitchell County Sheriffs Office, Mitchell Medics and Yancey EMS, Mitchell County 911, a life was saved. Early Defib from an AED (actually, two of them brought to scene from MCSO and Parkway/Spruce Pine) was utilized. Data shows us that Early Defibrillation and High Quality CPR saves lives. Thank you to ALL who responded.
Furthermore, with all of MM trucks tied up on calls - our neighbors, Yancey EMS, responded quickly and transported the patient.
Strong work everyone.
