Flora has worked for the Urbana Fire Division for over three years, Fire Chief Dean Ortlieb said.
“Even while dealing with these pandemic-related tasks, Firefighter Flora also found the time to lead the charge to secure the Division’s first video laryngoscope devices, which is a tool that will help take the Division’s EMS program to the next level with regard to technology,” the post said.
The devices, used to show the epiglottis and trachea on a screen during intubation, were funded through an EMS grant at no cost to the city, the post said.
“Firefighter Flora is a tremendous asset to the Division and the community we serve,” the post said.
