CAFFEINE POWDER - A WARNING FOR PARENTS

You may have heard about the use of caffeine powder and some of the problems people are experiencing as a result. We recently responded to a call of a young man who had taken about a protein powder scoop's worth of the drug. Some rough math shows that's about the equivalent of drinking 700 energy drinks. This young man, healthy and fine earlier in the day, was now in full arrest. 100% caffeine powder is easily and inexpensively purchased online and unfortunately, it's also easily over dosed and potentially deadly. Please, be aware, talk to your family about this drug and *SHARE THIS WARNING* with your friends.

Jayson,

MEET JAYSON: Our crew met him when, at only 5 weeks old, a rare condition caused his heart to stop and his parents called for help.
Jayson had heart surgery to fix the problem and his mom sent us a note to say he's doing just great.
"If it weren't for West Valley Fire Department, my son wouldn't be here today. We will never forget what you guys gave back to us and we are forever grateful."
We'll never forget Jayson. From your friends who met you that scary day, Scott Pearson, Nick Herzog, Matt Butterfield, Phil Lords and Alex Wingeier of Medic Ambulance 74 and Tower 74, we wish you a happy and healthy future!
