Scott Carpenter Pool Lifeguards Save a Life

On July 12, the city’s Fire-Rescue Department honored Trew Mundy, Mick Konstantopoulos, and Nicole Carnelli with Life Saving Awards for their quick response to a cardiac event at Scott Carpenter Pool on June 17. Chief Michael Calderazzo presented the awards.

On June 17, Scott Sorenson had a seizure at the pool. Carnelli, an ICU nurse, checked Sorenson for a pulse and, finding none, began chest compressions. Lifeguards Konstantopoulos, Mundy and Recreation Supervisor Tim Stabbe applied an AED, took over compressions and applied supplemental oxygen. Emergency personnel arrived and, because of Konstantopoulos, Mundy and Stabbe’s efforts, Sorensen is anticipated to make a full recovery.

Sorensen joined us for the award presentation and met those who gave him a second chance at life.
