Atlanta’s frontline heroes recognized during EMS Week

VIDEO: The Atlanta Fire Rescue Department celebrated the cityโ€™s frontline heroes last week with a special event marking National EMS Week. The annual observance recognizes the critical, often life-saving work of emergency medical service providers across the city. As part of the festivities, the department hosted the Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) Awards, which honor EMS professionals who successfully revive patients experiencing cardiac arrest. The ceremony was also a moment to spotlight extraordinary community effortsโ€”including those of two young girls who helped save their motherโ€™s life. According to Atlanta Fire officials, one of the honorees was an 8-year-old girl who quickly dialed 911 when her mother collapsed. Her call led to a rapid EMS response that helped ensure a positive outcome.
