On January 24, 2024, Opelika dispatch received a call regarding an unconscious female outside of Roses Discount Store on Pepperell Parkway. Sgt. Wade Foster was the first officer on scene and located a woman lying near the front entry who did not have a pulse and was not breathing. He began chest compressions and directed the next arriving officer to retrieve their Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Officers continued CPR and applied their AED as Opelika Fire Department Engine One arrived on scene and assumed patient care.

Lt. Paramedic Henry Williford, Fire Sgt. Paramedic Michael Henderson, Fire Paramedic Tara Bonilla, and probationary Fire Fighter Kirkland Pugh worked quickly and applied a Lucas, mechanical CPR device. The crew applied their defibrillator, delivered a subsequent shock, and administered the first round of medication to the patient. 13 minutes after Sgt. Foster’s arrival, medics detected a pulse.

Engine One’s crew prepared the patient for transport to East Alabama Medical Center with Fire Medic Bonilla and Firefighter Pugh riding along to assist with continued care.
Because OPD Personnel began immediate CPR on arrival and OFD medics were able to successfully identify the type of cardiac episode the woman had, and administer proper defibrillation and drug therapy, they ensured she received the proper medical treatment. She spent sixteen days in the hospital before being released on February 8th, 2024.

These men and women acted in a professional manner, saving the life of an individual that, without prompt action, would otherwise have been lost.

Every day on the job as a first responder brings new challenges, but incidents like these are a reminder of the importance of CPR training – you never know when you might be the one who can make a difference.
