What an incredible story about the outcome of a call that St. Albert firefighters responded to in 2022!

The fire-medics performed a successful water rescue and restored a pulse. This was followed by amazing care from AB healthcare professionals, which led to a full recovery.

Of the almost 30,000 critical medical calls that your #YYC Firefighters attended in 2020, nearly 2500 were directly related to opioids. Since 2017, YYC firefighters have been able to administer the life-saving medication naloxone. #TheMoreYouKnow #MoreThanFires
