On Monday, March 28, 2011, at 1321 hours, Paramedic Ambulance 69 was alerted to Huntsman Drive in Huntingtown, MD for a female in cardiac arrest. Huntingtown VFD's Paramedic Ambulance 69 responded, and arrived on scene to find CPR in progress. The crew of 69 swiftly went to work and with advanced on-scene medical intervention, Huntingtown's Paramedic Ambulance 69 regained a pulse prior to transporting the patient. Upon arrival at the Calvert Memorial Hospital, the patient was once again showing signs of life and beginning to breathe on her own. Thanks to the quick thinking of Huntingtown's all-volunteer emergency medical providers, this woman has been given another chance at life.
