Fire department invests in new tech
Of the 8,258 calls that the Brooklyn Park Fire Department responded to in 2020, 6,065 were for medical emergencies.
With a majority of the department s work requiring tools beyond fire extinguishers and high-pressure hoses, Brooklyn Park recently invested more than $100,000 in new technology, including an automated CPR device and an elevated CPR positioning system that raises a patient s head and thorax to drain blood away from the head to avoid the risk of concussion.
Chief T. John Cunningham said in a news release that the technology is an investment into the lives of those we serve.
