The Nogales Fire Department is proud of the outstanding performance that all NFD personnel have demonstrated and the outstanding outreach program that will be implemented throughout the community that will include training and certifying at the Nogales Unified School District employees, coaches, teachers and Freshmen Class on CPR and CCR procedures.
Mary Ann Matter, Base Hospital Manager at University Medical Center, Tucson, explains the adoption of CCR by Nogales Fire Department and others in Santa Cruz County. “[CCR] has been found to triple cardiac arrest survival in Arizona. These findings led us to partner with our EMS Agencies in Santa Cruz County and the Arizona Department of Health Services to improve cardiac arrest care.”
“As part of a quality improvement plan, EMS agencies embraced the implementation of CCR throughout the County. We are pleased to see the fruit of this effort already occurring with the recent survival of Mr. Leon. We are encouraged by the efforts of the Nogales Fire Department and all of our Santa Cruz County EMS agencies,” she added.

Let me know.
I left one about the fire department and it did not post.
Anyway, Nogales public safety is something we can all be proud of, and those men and women are very dedicated to the community.
Thanks! "

During the dark days of the previous mayor, when the "Four Horsement" were threatening to fire department personnel and intimidating the likes of the public safety employees, they were strong in their dedication to the people of the community.
Someone should read this letter out loud to some of the "leaders" at City Hall, who have no shame in telling the fire department that all they do is sleep and play basketball.
Mr. Leon is here today because despite such a lack of leadership and vision, the men and women of the department have held true to their responsibility as fire fighters and all of the people of Nogales are better off because of it.
We should be very proud of our public safety personnel. "
