Everett fire rescues unresponsive man from tight space on docked ferry
EVERETT — Everett Fire Department credits a quick response by coworkers for helping save an unresponsive employee working on a ferry in for repairs Tuesday evening in Everett.
Around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, firefighters responded to reports of an employee who began experiencing signs of cardiac arrest in a confined space on the ferry docked at the Port of Everett terminal, according to an Everett Fire Department social media post.
Before firefighters arrived, coworkers used an Automated External Defibrillator to begin CPR, the post said. Firefighters found the group in a confined space behind the boiler at a lower level. The patient regained a pulse shortly after first responders took over.
While first responders cared for the patient, other firefighters worked on the complicated process of extricating him from the ship, the post said. Using a Stokes basket, they lifted the patient up one level, moved him off the ship and lowered him to the paramedics waiting on the ground.
