LANSING, Mich. (WLNS)– The Jackson Fireplace Division partnered with Residence of New Imaginative and prescient to put in a Narcan field on the Central Fireplace Station to scale back opioid overdoses.
In accordance with the Narcan web site, Naloxone is a nasal spray that competes with opioids to bind with the identical receptors within the mind, reversing the consequences of an opioid overdose in two to a few minutes.
“As first responders, we see firsthand the devastating impact of opioid overdoses in our community,” stated Joe Smith, Assistant Fireplace Chief of the Jackson Fireplace Division. “By making Narcan readily available, we hope to empower residents to take action in emergency situations and ultimately reduce the number of lives lost to overdoses.”
Drug deaths fall to lowest degree in 6 years
“We are proud to partner with the Jackson Fire Department on this initiative,” stated Brooke Cross,Director of Jackson Companies at Residence of New Imaginative and prescient. “Providing access to Narcan and educational resources is a vital step toward reducing stigma, increasing awareness, and saving lives.”
The Narcan field is situated outdoors of the entrance entrance of the Jackson Fireplace Division’s Central Fireplace Station.
