HomeMy WebLinkAboutFire Department Life Saving AwardFire Department Life Saving Award – On 11/04/2015, Jeremy Overson was exercising at the Hart Building at BYU-Idaho, when he collapsed. Aubrey Landon (city employee as a lifeguard at
Rexburg Rapids) and Gregory Laffoon witnessed Jeremy collapse and went to his aid. They discovered that Jeremy was in cardiac arrest. They started CPR and instructed bystanders to
call 911. CPR was continued until the arrival of Madison Fire Department, at which time the patient was defibrillated and a pulse was re-established. Jeremy made a full recovery and
is attending BYU-Idaho. The favorable outcome would not have been possible without the lifesaving efforts of Aubrey and Gregory. We would like to recognize their efforts by presenting
them with a Lifesaving Award from Madison Fire Department and the City of Rexburg – Chief Mike Walker
