Saturday December 15, 2012 at 1734 hours, the Huntingtown VFD and Calvert Advanced Life Support (Medic Unit) were alerted to 415 Walton Road for the unresponsive person. With units enroute, Communications relayed supplemental information that they were providing CPR instructions over the phone. Engine 61 & Ambulance 69 arrived to find a 21 year old male laying on the bedroom floor, unresponsive with no pulse. Crews immediately began CPR, and within 5 minutes, the patient regained his pulse. Upon arrival at the hospital (*18 minutes after arriving on the scene*), the patient was sitting up in bed speaking with the hospital staff. OUTSTANDING JOB to the members of the Huntingtown VFD and Medic Unit. The Huntingtown Volunteers returned to service at 1824 hours.
