Jana Boswell speaks to Battalion Chief Clint Conway and first responders

Lake Highlands Women’s League member Jana Boswell delivered hundreds of homemade cookies and brownies baked by fellow members Friday to paramedics and firefighters at Station 28. The treats were part of the league’s regular service to the community, but to Boswell the trip was anything but routine.

In January, her 30-year-old daughter, Lindsay Casey, suffered cardiac arrest while home preparing her toddler for Sunday services. Husband, Scott, performed CPR until heroes from Station 28 arrived to save her.

“You just can’t imagine the impact you have on people’s lives,” Jana told the sheepish first responders. “Thank you.”

Battalion Chief Clint Conway accepted the goodies – and the praise – on behalf of the men and women of Station 28.

“We wish we weren’t needed for incidents as serious as that, but we’re ready when we are,” Conway said.

Station 28 is located on Greenville Avenue near Royal Lane.
