Mayor Hales reports possible fireworks ban and praises firefighters for neonatal resuscitation
Summary
Mayor Hales said the city is awaiting state authorization on a proposed fireworks ban and invited Joey from the fire department to describe a neonatal resuscitation; the council commended EMS crews for the successful resuscitation.
Mayor Hales told the council the city has requested approval from the governor and forestry officials for a fireworks ban; 86 cities were waiting for authorization and the mayor said the city will wait for official sign-off before distributing public notices.
Hales then invited a fire department member, Joey, to describe an emergency response in which medics resuscitated a neonate. Joey said medics secured the airway and provided ventilations; staff reported it took about eight minutes to resuscitate the infant and the hospital NICU physician later commended the team. The council applauded the firefighters and paramedics for their care.
