Kudos to Paramedic Corporal Mark A. Plumley for his off-duty actions in responding to a cardiac arrest on Tuesday, July 29, 2025. Corporal Plumley was on his way home from his day shift when he received emergency notification on his PulsePoint Foundation app alerting him to someone in cardiac arrest at a local athletic club. The feedback from the bystanders on scene stated Mark “quickly took control of the scene”. They further stated his “initiative and willingness to assist were evident from the moment he arrived at the patient’s side”.

Despite being off duty, he was quick to act and assisted with resuscitative measures. Corporal Plumley was also noted to stay behind and speak with the bystanders regarding the resuscitation. He assured everyone they acted appropriately, and the facility’s use of their Automated External Defibrillator (AED) had a significant impact on the resuscitation and restoration of the patient’s pulses. The patient’s condition was noted to improve throughout the patient contact due to the combined efforts of bystanders, Corporal Plumley, Hockessin Fire Company, Mill Creek Fire Company, and New Castle County Paramedics.

Corporal Plumley is commended for his willingness to respond to a critical medical emergency while off duty. Thanks for making a difference and impact during this event.

There's nothing better than a registered AED, except for a 24/7 accessible, registered AED! ⚡️

SaveStation and ZOLL Public Safety placed two Zoll AEDs inside SaveStation towers so those at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will have access to these life-saving devices!

These outdoor, climate controlled, weatherproof, freestanding towers are strategically placed in densely populated areas and house an automated external defibrillator.

The off-duty lifeguards received an alert via PulsePoint that a water rescue was needed.

A day out on the boat became a fight for survival July 1 for Leigh Pracht in the waters just off Lewes when she was unable to get back in her boat, drifting off in the current. Rescue efforts began as soon as first responders were alerted, but they...

"If you're willing to help, I would download PulsePoint."
- Off-duty fire fighter, who answered a PulsePoint alert and helped save a man's life.

If you are CPR trained (you don't have to be a first responder), download PulsePoint and it could alert you to a cardiac arrest nearby.

If you aren't in a PulsePoint-connected community, contact your local fire department to ask about bringing it to your area.

Skagit County (WA) credits Costco employees and PulsePoint with helping to save a man's life. An off-duty Coeur d' Alene fire fighter responded to a PulsePoint alert and initiated high-quality, life-saving CPR until local EMS crews arrived.
