First responders under pressure from overdose death spike
Federal data show Pennsylvania had 5 388 overdose deaths last year with 44 3 per 100 000 residents, while Ohio and Florida also posted high totals. First responders face daily risk from fentanyl exposure and require training on naloxone use and safety gear. State agencies expand leave behind naloxone and park ranger distribution as police report thousands of naloxone saves. Community groups in Cambria County fund gear for responders, while investigators stress protective equipment for external examinations and scene searches.
