Tonight American Township received two awards for different EMS runs from the past year at the annual Mercy Health St. Rita's EMS banquet.
The first was for a call for a drowning victim that ultimately survived because of care provided by bystanders and our firefighter paramedic/EMTs. They were Chief Brian Helmig, FF/medics Carson Kazee and Rich Wilson, and FF/EMT Joe Hartman.
The second award was for stroke care provided that led to a successful outcome for a patient. On that run were FF/medics Ross Emans and John Schimmoeller.
These are just two prime examples of the countless positive outcomes our medics and EMTs have an integral part in every day. Our community has a lot to be proud of and we are proud of the medical care our crews provide.
