WARREN It was January 2017. Ed Hanna was working as a Warren Fire Department paramedic when his squad was dispatched to a mobile home park after the apparent overdose of a teenage girl.
“Once we started working on her, and going through the process, doing our evaluation on her, and then finding out it was drug related, we gave her everything we had in the box,” Hanna said.
