Romeoville Fire Department news

Excerpts from the herald-news.com:

Romeoville Fire Department personnel were recognized for their care on Dec. 22 of a 2-year-old girl who was suffering a seizure.

The run was also chosen because the parents requested their daughter be taken to Edward Hospital, which was five minutes farther than the nearest hospital. The crew was able to calmly and confidently relay valuable information in order to receive approval for a bypass of the closest facility and bring the patient to the Edward Hospital emergency department.

In the “Run of the Quarter” program, the Edward EMS team reviews ambulance runs by pre-hospital providers and selects one to be recognized every three months.

On July 10, BFD paramedics were called to the Edward-Elmhurst Health Bolingbrook Immediate Care, where the patient’s husband brought her because she was cool, clammy and feeling ill at work.
