Timely action by Squamish RCMP has prevented what could have been a fatal drug overdose.
Squamish RCMP responded to a report of two individuals who had overdosed on narcotics. Police arrived to find two unconscious individuals.
Police immediately administered Narcan and assessed their condition until ambulance arrived. They were stabilized and taken to hospital for further treatment.
Last week, another quick call to 911 by a young girl in Squamish helped save the lives of two people who had overdosed on drugs.
Vehicle stuck on Mamquam FSR
On April 10, Squamish RCMP received a report of a vehicle stuck ten kilometers up the Mamquam River FSR.
The people in the vehicle were contacted by police and asked to walk out on foot as they didn’t have any medical issues.
Police met them on the highway and educated them on their poor choice.
“The police are reminding the public that taking unnecessary risk now puts first responders at risk of potential exposure to Covid 19,” Squamish RCMP said.
“Please stay home and go outdoors in your neighbourhood in a safe manner.”
