Heartsaver Hero Awards

This week's Council meeting pulled at the heart strings with Mayor Bickerstaff presenting Heartsaver Hero awards for two Heartsaver Hero incidents.

Heartsaver Story One

On March 31, 2022, an adult male was found unconscious at the Neighborhood Walmart, located off of Murphy Road in Sachse. Nancy Priddy, an active Sachse CERT member, was present and began bystander CPR prior to emergency response personnel arriving. The patient was ultimately revived due to early CPR, defibrillation, intubation, and medications and was then transported to the hospital. Several weeks later, he was discharged to rehab and has since returned to work with no long-lasting effects.

The City recognized the following Heartsaver Hero Award recipients on behalf of the AHA: CERT Member Nancy Priddy,

Sachse Fire - Rescue Lieutenant Ken Messick, Driver/Engineer Cory Cave, Firefighter/Paramedic Stephen Dacus, Driver/Engineer John Morris, Firefighter/Paramedic Brad Hood, Firefighter/Paramedic Garrett Metzger, Murphy Fire Department Medic Virgil Cross and Medic Garrett Paynton.

Heartsaver Story Two
On January 10, 2022, emergency units were dispatched to a "difficulty breathing" call. Ambulance 2 with Fire Station 2 personnel responded. A mutual aid engine was requested and Murphy Fire Department responded. The patient was treated on scene with intubation. While en route to the hospital, the patient went into cardiac arrest resulting in CPR and defibrillation efforts continuing throughout transport. The patient was revived shortly after arriving to the Emergency Room. After a prolonged hospital stay, the patient has since been released and returned home.

The City recognized the following Heartsaver Hero Award recipients on behalf of the AHA: Fire Driver/Engineer Scott Potter, Fire Driver/Engineer Austin Fullen, and Firefighter/Paramedic Colton Haynes.
