Kingsburg police and fire resuscitate diner at Katie's Kitchen; city credits new equipment and grants
Summary
City manager reported that police and fire personnel used new equipment funded by a Kingsburg Health Care District grant to resuscitate a patron who suffered cardiac arrest at a local breakfast spot; the patient was speaking at the hospital shortly after transport.
City Manager Alex Henderson told the council Oct. 15 that police and fire responders resuscitated an older adult who suffered cardiac arrest at Katie's Kitchen earlier that morning.
Henderson said both police and fire arrived in under three minutes and that the patient “by the time she was at the hospital, she was up and speaking and doing well again.” He credited newly acquired equipment, including a LUCAS mechanical chest‑compression device and other items procured with a grant from the Kingsburg Health Care District.
Henderson called the incident an example of the importance of grant partnerships and quick emergency response. No further operational actions were proposed at the meeting.
