In Tolono, Illinois, the community’s first responders recently gathered to commemorate an extraordinary rescue that took place earlier this year.

On January 11, a team comprising the Tolono Fire Department, local police, and Carle Arrow Ambulance united their efforts to aid an individual experiencing cardiac arrest at home. Thanks to their rapid and coordinated response, Fire Chief Chris Humer reported that the individual’s life was saved, and they emerged neurologically intact—a rare outcome in such emergencies.
