Sycamore Fire Department issued the following announcement on June 12.
Good news!
We were just informed that we are the recipient of a $13,364 grant from the Illinois State Fire Marshal’s Small Tool Grant for one Lucas Chest Compression device. The Lucas chest compression device, when applied to a patient in a cardiac arrest, will deliver the manual chest compressions that would be normally provided for by one of the responding crew members.
These devices are able to provide continuous, high quality chest compressions, thereby freeing up paramedics to perform other needed tasks. The chest compression device helps to increase a patient's chance of survival from cardiac arrest.
We are very thankful to the Office of the State Fire Marshal for the grant award!
