Otterburn Fire Department Receives Life-Saving Mikey Unit

The Mikey Network and Canada’s 911 Ride Foundation are honoured to present a lifesaving “MIKEY” defibrillator to the Otterburn Park (Quebec) Fire Department in memory of Ornge First Officer Jacques Dupuy.

Accepting are (l to r) Division Chief Steve Cervantes, Fire Chief John Thompson, Jade, Josee, and Gianni Dupuy, and Mayor Jean Marc Fortin.

The defibrillator will be stored at the fire department. It’s primary use will be on the vehicle that responds to boating incidents during the summer, and will be transferred to a first responder unit in the winter. Last summer the Otterburn Fire Department answered a call for a heart attack victim on a boat. Since they have just one defibrillator, the second one will come in very handy. This is just one more location that will help give victims of Sudden Cardiac Arrest another chance at life!
