On August 18, 2019, a courageous rescue operation unfolded at Port Everglades when firefighters came to the aid of a man who collapsed while working aboard the cargo vessel 'Impala.' The incident occurred in the vessel's hold, approximately 50 feet below the deck, as workers were in the process of loading concrete. Workers quickly recognized the medical emergency and sought help. Responding swiftly, Port Everglades station personnel provided immediate medical attention, administering oxygen and intravenous fluids to the stricken worker, who was suffering from heat exposure. Due to his weakened condition, the technical rescue task force employed a ladder truck to securely lift him from the ship using a portable stretcher. Once safely dockside, paramedics took over, continuing treatment before transferring him to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale for further care.
