Captain Bonilla travels with over 50 pounds of equipment to help him do the job: Tubes and wraps, oxygen tanks, a cardiac monitor, a suction unit to clear blocked airways, a drill for injecting medicine directly into bone, drugs to aid breathing, drugs to strip toxins from the body, drugs to reverse drug overdoses, antidotes to an array of possible attacks using weapons of mass destruction.

Thank you very much for posting this story. I would like to pass it on as well.

 

Today, Saturday March 25, 2017, in carrying on with the tradition of George, the Steinbrenner Family will open Yankee Stadium for FDNY/EMS EMT Yadiro Arroyo's funeral logistics.

 

Arroyo, 44, was killed last week by a schizophrenic, career criminal., who tried to steal her ambulance and ran her down with her own vehicle.

 

For One Day, Yankee Stadium will be the House that Yadira built.

 

The Bronx Bombers will provide free parking today (Saturday 3/25/2017), for some of the 10,000 people expected to be at slain EMT Yadira Arroy's funeral.

 

EMTs and Medics from around the nation are expected in the city to honor the mother of FIVE.

 

The Yankees will cover the cost of opening and staffing parking lots, including those opposite the stadium, gates 4 and 8, for the roughly 5,000 cars and buses expected.

 

The Yankees arranged for the post funeral meal with refreshments and food served in the ball parks Great Hall between 1 pm and 4:45 pm.

 

 Here we Remember FDNY/EMS EMT Yadira Arroya, who spent 14 years saving lives in the City of New York. May she Rest in Peace and THANK YOU for your dedicated years of service to the citizens and visitors of New York City.
