Cranford Employees Resuscitate Local Resident
Cranford Knights of Columbus
On December 16, 2021 before the Council General Meeting, the Cranford Knights of Columbus honored Lt. Chris Polito, Ptl. Corey LoForte, and Cranford Construction Official Frank Genova for successfully resuscitating a resident who had collapsed in the Municipal Building on November 1, 2021 due to a cardiac episode.
Mr. Genova started life-saving measures and was assisted by Lt. Polito and Ptl. LoForte who administered CPR after determining that the man had no pulse. After about two minutes of CPR treatment and oxygen, the victim gasped for air and Cranford emergency personnel transported him to Newark Beth Israel Center for further treatment.
The Council presented each honoree with a certified American flag that has flown over the Capitol in Washington, DC in recognition of saving the resident’s life.
