01/24/17 at 10:15 a.m. - On the evening of Thursday, October 20, 2016, a Yulee High School student named Jasmine Saint-Leger was involved in a serious motor vehicle crash on Chester Road in Yulee. Responders from Nassau County Fire Rescue, Engines 70 and Rescue 71, found Jasmine entrapped in her vehicle with life threatening injuries. Firefighters successfully extricated Jasmine, provided treatment, and transported her to Trauma 1 helicopter where she was flown to the trauma center at UF North in critical condition.
Due to the timing of the crash, Jasmine was unable to participate in her Senior Walk during the Yulee High School Homecoming. Nassau County Fire Rescue received word that Jasmine and the other cheerleaders would be participating in Senior Night during the Yulee High School basketball game on Wednesday, January 18th, and emergency personnel that responded to her accident surprised her by attending the event. As you would expect, this was a very teary reunion as Jasmine and members of her family expressed their gratitude to the first responders while her fellow students looked on. This is just one example of how the employees of Nassau County Fire Rescue impact our community every day.
Great job to Lt. Brian Sloan, Lt. Kevin Page, Engineer Rob Widdows, Engineer Cody Canaday, and Firefighter Alton Robby! Your knowledge and dedication is truly inspiring and we appreciate all that you do for the citizens of Nassau County!
