Ridgewood NJ, perfect weather for opening day at Graydon Pool was dampened by incident in which a child was apparently seriously injured while swimming in the pool’s “shallow” area. Ridgewood Police, Ridgewood Fire, and Ridgewood Emergency Services personnel rushed to assist in the child’s safe removal from the pool and transfer to a waiting ambulance. A paramedic team from The Valley Hospital assisted Ridgewood EMTs. The victim was transported by ambulance to The Valley Hospital. The child’s guardians/parents were at the pool when the incident occurred.
Great work by all involved, especially the 2 members of RIdgewood Fire who entered the water to assist in patient evaluation and hand carry.
Great professional work by the lifeguards and emergency services responders. Hope the child is ok.
The child is OK from what I’ve heard, and great work by all the first responders.
Can we now stop complaining about the cost of having a full time, professional fire department? Thanks.
We are not complaining about a fully equipped and manned paid Fire Department. We wanted to keep our 40 plus year EMS Team intact which is not paid for by our taxes but ambulance fees.
The 2 AH’s who voted Thumbs Down on the first posting about the great work etc done by the FD need to identify themselves so we can all see what AH’s look like.
I’d want your pictures posted in the FD.
Get the point?
