On behalf of Battalion Chief Mark Ashby and the EMS Service Officers. UFD would like to recognize those involved in a cardiac arrest save during the Illinois Marathon.
Each year, City of Champaign Fire Department and the City of Urbana Fire Department send members as EMS resources during the marathon. They are paired together and are available to respond to emergencies within and around the racecourse. This year Utility 281 was UFD FF Calvins Kerns and CFD FF Sean Manuel.

Description: On April 27th around 9:30am, U281 was dispatched to Meadowbrook Park for a male patient in cardiac arrest. The patient was a participant in the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon. Upon arrival, U281 found the male lying on the trail pulseless. AMT’s ALS2 cart started CPR, and U281 quickly and efficiently deployed the Lucas CPR Device. U281 then continued to assist the medic unit with life-saving measures. U281 and AMT were able to achieve a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The patient was alert and talking to first responders on the way the hospital. The swift actions and teamwork between event staff, first responders, and bystanders lead to a positive outcome.
