Congratulations to Todd Reinertsen and Scott Nava working Medic 1 for a great job this morning saving 5 adults and 4 children with carbon monoxide poisoning. Medic 1 responded to a residence in Garnerville for a woman complaining of headache and nausea. While assessing the woman, the portable carbon monoxide detectors carried by our paramedics for many years began alerting to high levels of CO in the house. Todd and Scott quickly evacuated the house and determined that all residents were feeling sick with headaches and nausea. Their quick action saved lives today.
All 9 family members were transported to Montefiore Nyack with two ambulances from Haverstraw Ambulance Corps, Inc. and one from Congers-Valley Cottage Volunteer Ambulance Corps. for evaluation and treatment. In addition SW Johnson Fire Department (Department 23) responded and confirmed carbon monoxide was present in the house. Great teamwork everyone!
