This past weekend, several Greeley first responders had the extraordinary chance to reconnect with a recent patient, his family, and speak with each other about how they all came together to produce a wonderful outcome. Today, we are thrilled to be able to introduce you all to one of your neighbors, Rod Poeschl. ![]()

On the morning of September 22nd, Greeley Fire Engine 107, staffed by Lt. Paramedic Matt Cardeccia, Engineer Dayne Schaeffer and Firefighter Paramedic Shayna Barco, responded to the Poeschl household UCHealth EMS Medic 35, staffed in part by Ethan Riox-Smart. 911 had been called after Rod woke up with severe jaw pain that caused him to pass out. On their arrival, our first responders immediately noticed that Rod's condition was serious and intiated advanced assessment and treatment measures while working to get him transported to UC Health Greeley Hospital for further care. Firefighter Paramedic Shayna Barco rode in during the transport to aid in continuing these advanced measures on the way to the hospital. At the hospital, the care team determined that Rod had suffered an abdominal aortic aneurysm, a condition that is usually fatal unless recognized and treated in a short time. Rod was able to be transferred to the UC Health's Medical Center of the Rockies and receive the care needed to survive. Rod was recently released from his stay at the hospital.![]()

Rod's story and his recovery is what we hope for every time we respond to a 911 call. A positive outcome like this is owed to many factors, including the Poeschls' wise decision to activate emergency medical services quickly and the combination of several agencies working together to provide their specialized services alongside one another. We are honored to have served in the role we did and continue providing care like this to our community here in Greeley.
