On Thursday, FDNY EMS members responded to a cardiac arrest involving a 15-year-old patient at a school in Queens.

Upon arrival, EMTs Alexis Torres and Justin Sarapaivanit, both of Station 45, found school staff performing CPR and utilizing an on-site AED, which had delivered three shocks prior to their arrival. The EMTs immediately assumed patient care, confirmed the patient remained in cardiac arrest, and continued lifesaving resuscitation efforts.

Shortly afterward, members of Engine 325 arrived to assist. While preparing the patient for rapid transport, EMTs Torres and Sarapaivanit reassessed the patient and observed signs of Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), including the return of spontaneous breathing.

Rescue Paramedics Kayla Pasquarello and Meagan Valicenti, along with Lieutenant Erin Doyle, stabilized the patient, performed cardiac monitoring, and alerted the hospital about their pending arrival.

The FDNY commends the quick actions and seamless teamwork displayed by all of our EMS and Firefighters on scene. Their efforts, combined with the rapid recognition of cardiac arrest and immediate CPR provided by school staff, played a critical role in helping save a young life.

This week, the FDNY held dedication ceremonies for the inaugural World Trade Center Retired Responders Wall—honoring 154 members from all five boroughs who were retired at the time of the September 11th attacks and responded to assist in the rescue and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site.

The wall is located directly across from the World Trade Center Memorial Wall inside FDNY Headquarters. Together, the two memorial walls honor the growing number of FDNY members who have died from illnesses related to their response to the attacks.

We will never forget their service and sacrifice at Manhattan Box 5-5-8087 World Trade Center.

During CPR Awareness Week, remember that effective chest compressions should be strong and steady, about 100 to 120 beats per minute, just like your favorite song. 🎶

Every year from June 1 through June 7, the FDNY, the @FDNYFoundation, and our partners mark National CPR and AED Awareness Week with a citywide educational campaign aimed at encouraging more New Yorkers to learn hands-only CPR.

Take a moment this week to learn the signs of cardiac arrest and how to perform hands-only CPR by visiting https://t.co/UXii35CLTH.

At approximately 6:20 p.m. Tuesday, FDNY members assigned to the Robotics Unit and EMS rescued two swimmers in distress off Rockaway Beach at Beach 85th Street just 20 minutes after lifeguards had gone off duty.

While patrolling the shoreline with a drone, Firefighter Michael Stothers spotted the swimmers struggling in the water and, within minutes, successfully deployed a Restube flotation device from the drone. The flotation device began to inflate as soon as it hit the water and helped both swimmers remain afloat until rescuers arrived.

EMT Michael Ormiston, of Station 47, entered the water with a rescue torpedo and made contact with one victim, while Firefighter Patrick O'Leary assisted in bringing the individual safely to shore. An off-duty lifeguard assisted with the rescue of the second swimmer. Both patients were transported to an area hospital in stable condition.

⚠️ As more New Yorkers head to the beach this summer, the FDNY reminds residents to swim only when lifeguards are on duty, follow the posted safety signs and to stay alert to changing water conditions.
