LFR Ambulance. (Jeff Motz/KFOR News)LINCOLN–(KFOR Oct. 15)–Lincoln Fire and Rescue will host a couple of meet and greets this weekend between people that rescued a cardiac arrest survivor in one case at Memorial Stadium on September 5 and a recent trauma survivor.
“Those are always really, rea
lly great experiences for everyone involved because we’re obviously celebrating a life,” said LFR public information officer MJ Lierman. “Sometimes it’s not LFR that necessarily saved them. It’s bystanders.”
The first survivor meet and greet will be Saturday at 1pm over at Fire Station 1 at 18th and “Q”, with a cardiac arrest survivor from Sept. 5 at Memorial Stadium at the first Nebraska football game of the season against Ohio. There will be a variety of members from the Red Cross Team, Midwest Medical, bystanders, LE, dispatch, and the family and friends of the survivor.
The second survivor meet and greet Sunday at 9am over at Fire Station 15/LPD Southeast team location over a 66th and Pine Lake Road, from a trauma case survivor case recently in the parking lot of the Scheels store.
