On the morning of Sunday, September 13th, Fair Grove Fire was dispatched to a residence for a report of an unconscious person.

Lt. Wright arrived on scene with Squad 43 and entered the residence, locating a male who was conscious at the time. Lt. Wright began speaking with the gentleman, who introduced himself as Mr. Lloyd, while attempting to obtain vital signs.

During the assessment, Mr. Lloyd suddenly became unresponsive and was found to have no pulse. Lt. Wright immediately moved Mr. Lloyd to the floor, began chest compressions, and requested additional resources.

FF Martin and Captain Barnhart with Holly Grove Fire, along with Captain Broos and FF Lyndon with Fair Grove Fire, arrived and began assisting Squad 43 and EMS personnel on scene. Crews worked together to provide lifesaving care, and after several minutes, a pulse was regained. Mr. Lloyd was then transported by EMS for further treatment.

Today, we had the opportunity to meet Mr. Lloyd again—this time under much better circumstances.

In the fire service, we respond to many difficult situations, but moments like this are ones we will always cherish. Seeing someone again after being part of their care during such a critical moment is something that is hard to put into words.

This positive outcome is a testament to teamwork, training, and individuals working together when every second mattered.

It was great seeing you today, Mr. Lloyd. Everyone at Fair Grove Fire wishes you the very best as you continue your recovery
