Thank you for the update. We were coming down little bear 🐻 when they flew over. They were not in there long so I knew they did not pickup anyone.

God bless them but CPR for 3 hours? CPR doesn't fix hearts, it just buys time for the AED. That sucks. I can't imagine working someone for three hours.
