Fire Department National Recognition
The Naperville Fire Department received national recognition for cardiac protocol. In 2018, the fire department launched a new program, Advanced Cardiac Protocol, to improve the return of spontaneous circulation and survivability, or ROSC, and survivability of cardiac arrests. The two-year approach was meant to educate and train firefighters on new equipment and procedures and why they are critical. This has led to the fire department doubling its ROSC and survivability numbers.
