On a snowy December evening the station was alerted for breathing problems. CPL. Ferguson with Caroline County Sheriffs Department was first on scene and observed the patient in cardiac arrest. After upgrading the call, several other members of the department, as well as Caroline County Emergency Services assisted CPL Ferguson and performed life saving measures which resulted in positive resuscitation.
Moments like this make us proud of our members and to be a part of this community.
