The alarming increase in drug overdoses has led Dallas Fire-Rescue to create a team of first responders with Narcan and special training.
DFR started the overdose response team earlier this year in large part due to the dramatic rise in fentanyl overdose cases. Many of the victims are young teenagers.
As more families and schools deal with student drug overdoses, one North Texas mother and son are stepping forward to share their own personal fentanyl overdose story. They want others to get help before it's too late. The duo visits with Dallas residents who recently suffered opioid overdoses — often fentanyl — to offer services and Narcan, a spray used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
That's why the DFR overdose response team is joining forces with Dallas ISD to bring awareness about the deadly dangers of the drug.On Saturday, Dallas ISD will host a community fentanyl meeting in collaboration with the city at Townview High School Center.
