Exciting events coming up in town. First off, the St. Ambrose Carnival returns next week! Our staff and Special Operations Division will have resources on site as we have in the past. Providing care and relief from the heat to all guests who require it.

The Old Bridge Public Library is hosting their "Summer Kick Off" day on Saturday June 27th. This includes a "Touch-a-truck" display. We will be in attendance along with several other vehicles from all of OB municipal agencies. Come on out and visit!

Later on in the Summer, there's the annual Salt Water Day and National Night Out at the Laurence Harbor waterfront and Municipal complex, respectively.

We can't wait for all these wonderful public events where you can meet your EMS providers and we can spend time talking to all of you and showing everyone the equipment used to keep all of you safe and provide whatever care you may need from us.

In the middle of annual EMS Week, we want to tell you all about an amazing story of survival that was recognized last night.

Late at night last September, OBPD Communications received a call reporting a multiple stabbing. As officers raced in to secure the scene, BLS 2 and 3 were dispatched and enroute. Supervisor Ken McLaughlin was first to arrive on scene, where he found 2 teenage victims in the roadway with stab wounds being tended to by officers. After performing a quick triage of both victims' injuries, Supervisor McLaughlin turned his direct attention to the more critically injured victim, who had a single stab wound to the chest, and began treating his injuries. He immediately applied a Chest Seal and provided further treatment with the officers assistance, while also still providing verbal instruction to officers with the other victim until both ambulances arrived.

Upon arrival of both BLS units, EMTs Dawn Luhrs and Greg Videla, along with Supervisor McLaughlin, packaged the victim and moved him to the ambulance where Paramedics from RWJ were already waiting after arriving on scene. EMTs JC Prophete and Nick Kuznetsov took over and provided care to the other victim. Both victims were taken to RWJ hospital in New Brunswick (in 22 minutes) and turned over to the ER Trauma team. This is where the calls NORMALLY end for us.

However, last night, we attended the "National Trauma Survivors Day" Award ceremony after being contacted by RWJBH. Our crews, officers and medics got to meet the victim who's life they saved, his family and celebrate his recovery.

Jo'Siah survived an injury that normally results in 80%-90% of victims dying from before ever making it to the hospital, as noted in the slide. But as a result of fast response, recognition of injuries, treatment and transport from all who were there, he has made a FULL recovery and we are ecstatic to have met him, his family, and learn that he will be crossing the stage to graduate high school in a few weeks.

It was an honor to be part of such an wonderful evening and "well done" to all involved.

OBPD: Dispatcher Crawford
Officers DeMaio, Endaz and Schwartz

OBTEMS:
Supervisor McLaughlin
EMTs Luhrs, Videla, Prophete, and Kuznetsov

RWJ:
Paramedics Shankle and Vogt

And everyone else involved that led to this perfect outcome.

From the most beautiful weather like today, to the absolute worst that nature can throw. Whether it's the light of day, or middle of the darkest nights, our staff go above and beyond each day, every day and give their all to the residents of Old Bridge Township in their most dire moments.

Often an afterthought and "forgotten" member of emergency services, they continue to answer the call. Always.

With compassionate care, advanced clinical skills, and calm composure in the most stressful, sometimes chaotic scenes, they focus squarely on the goal of providing the best outcome possible to their patients.

Happy EMS week to them and all our EMS partners who assist us regularly.
