St. Lucie Co. Fire District uses CARES Act funds to buy life-saving devices
December 18, 2020 at 8:56 AM EST - Updated December 18 at 8:56 AM
The St. Lucie County Fire District responds to multiple calls per day for cardiac arrest.
Now, rescue crews have a new tool to use when responding to those calls that they say improves outcomes.
Because the fire district received funds from the CARES Act, the fire district this month was able to add a Lucas device to every rescue truck, which wasn't otherwise in the budget.
The device acts as a hands-free CPR machine, and each unit costs at least $15,000.
