In an earlier notice we published a reminder that the nearest Automated External Defibrilator (AED) to the tennis court and the community trails on Mission Road is located at the front entrance of the Fire Hall.
We should have also mentioned that there is also a Narcan (Naloxone) kit inside the AED cupboard in case of an overdose with recreational opioid drugs such as fentanyl or heroin, or even non-opioid drugs that may have been laced with fentanyl.
Overdose medical emergencies can be quickly fatal, and have nothing to do with the police.
Call 911 and grab the Narcan kit as well as the AED.
Make sure the emergency dispatcher knows the location of the OD patient.
