East Ridge Fire Department and East Ridge Police Department were recognized Thursday by Erlanger Health System on the campus at Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga. East Ridge first responders received the “Lifesaving Award” for providing lifesaving measures in the service of two patients.
Officials said, "Without their quick thinking and decisive actions, the patients’ outcomes would have been dire at best. The responders’ heroism demonstrates the incredible action they perform daily in the line of service."
