On Feb. 12, Intermountain Health held an award ceremony honoring first responders for going above and beyond the call of duty while responding to a carbon monoxide incident. The incident happened Dec. 31 at a church in Monroe and sent 63 patients to the emergency department at Intermountain Sevier Valley Hospital in Richfield. 49 patients had to be transported to other hospitals in Murray, Provo and St. George for treatment in hyperbaric chambers. In a press release it was shared, “the need for so many transports, late at night on New Year’s Eve, complicated efforts to find crews. However, Sevier County EMS, Piute County EMS, and Gunnison Valley EMS answered the call for help.” 22 of these first responders were awarded an Intermountain Challenge Coin during the ceremony. Thayne and Lindsay Manning and their 14-year-old son Hekesi, who were all treated for carbon monoxide poisoning that day, helped hand out the coins to the EMS crews.
