The city of Coachella (CA) posted the following news release on its Facebook page Thursday:

An important milestone was celebrated (Thursday) at Coachella Fire Department Firehouse No. 79 as the rehabilitation and expansion project completed the framing process.

City officials, staff and crew from the fire station took a moment to commemorate this moment by signing one of the beams that will be added to the final structure.

The Lee County Commission Monday provided each of the six volunteer fire districts in the area with new LUCAS automated CPR devices, oanow.com reported.

The Beulah Fire District received two of the LUCAS CPR devices, the report said. Smiths Station, Beauregard, Salem, and the Southwest Fire Districts each received one device, the report said. The LUCAS devices will allow firefighters and EMTs to administer hands-free chest compressions to patients.

According to a Lee County Governmental Relations official, the LUCAS devices were paid for with American Rescue Plan Act COVID grant funds through the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA.)
