Opioid Overdose Drill for 10/16/17
 
By Vista Fire Department
October 17, 2017
 

This week's Monday drill was "Opioid Overdose" training for our Firefighters and EMTs.

Patrick Quinn from the Westchester County Department of Health led this week's drill as part of the "Community Opioid Overdose Training" through Westchester County. Our Vista First Responders learned how to properly use Narcan on a patient who has overdosed and all the dangers opioids possess to a human being. This type of training will now better equip our First Responders when handling an emergency response where an opioid overdose is detected.
