An É«Ç鱦±´ site manager was alerted that a one-year-old was having a medical emergency. She immediately contacted the security booth and instructed them to call 9-1-1. Once at the scene, she found the child unresponsive and immediately began chest compressions. The child was successfully resuscitated, then transported to the children’s hospital by paramedics for further care.
While on duty, a security professional responded to an individual experiencing a heart attack. She administered CPR and used a defibrillator until EMS arrived on scene. Her ability to act quickly with precision and professionalism ultimately saved the individual’s life.
During their night shift, two security professionals witnessed a car crash into a tree and catch on fire. Without hesitation, one called 9-1-1 and the other pulled the driver to safety before flames engulfed the vehicle. First responders arrived at the scene, extinguished the fire and the outcome for the man driving the vehicle was a positive one.
A security professional performed a wellness check of a person lying on the ground in a park and discovered the person had been stabbed in the abdomen and collapsed. The security professional called 911. EMS arrived on the scene and transported the victim to a local hospital for treatment. In another recent event at the same park, a different security professional noticed a car parked for a prolonged period. He performed a wellness check and after discovering an unresponsive individual in the car, he immediately contacted the park’s on-duty EMT and 911. The EMT arrived quickly and began working to revive the individual and administered necessary medication. Local EMS arrived on the scene shortly after and transported the patient to the hospital.
Just after midnight, a security professional received a call from a tenant reporting a fire alarm sounding on floor 31. She immediately contacted the fire department while another security professional ran upstairs to find smoke coming from an apartment with the tenant on the ground inside. He helped the tenant to the elevator, sent it to the first floor and proceeded to evacuate all other tenants. Both security professionals then directed firefighters to the blaze and calmed tenants as they evacuated the building. The fire department spent an hour fighting the blaze.
