Clifton community funds resuscitator for rescue squad
Clifton businesses and citizens rapidly contributed to buy a resuscitator after last week’s Bosque River drowning. Donations from the Volunteer Fire Company Civic Improvement Society and Lions Club total about 300 toward a 650 machine kept in the funeral home emergency car and run by J B Darden Jr. The device aids emergency treatment at distances and can handle two people, boosting the rescue squad’s capabilities during crises.
