This quick-thinking team was able to come together in a time of need for one of our individuals who went into cardiac arrest on the way to program. The other passengers on the van were cared for, while CPR was given to the individual until the emergency responders arrived and took over.

 

 

 

 

 

Jesus Yanza

Evening Supervisor/Custodian

Maintenance Department

Smithtown Campus

 

Jesus is a frequent visitor to the Early Childhood Learning Center’s Medford Campus. He will often be seen waxing the floors to a perfect shine or helping out the night crew with special projects.

 

On one particular evening, Jesus took action when he noticed embers in one of the bathrooms and looked up to realize that the ceiling was on fire. He grabbed a fire extinguisher, put out the fire, and immediately notified a supervisor as the fire alarm went off.

 

Because of his quick response, the fire was contained to the confines of the bathroom instead of spreading throughout the ceiling.
