City fire rescue listed among ‘2010 crown communities’

Sandy Springs Fire Rescue has been named an “America’s Crown Community” winner for 2010.

The award stems from the department’s pledge to train people in CPR and other life-saving measures.

“When we first started the department, we pledged to train people in CPR and AED use … and that has paid off. We are well above the national average,” said John McDonough, city manager.
