On December 8, 2011, The Snohomish County Chapter of the American Red Cross presented an award to Snohomish Fire District 4 Firefighters and Paramedics who responded to the scene of a stabbing victim at Snohomish High School on 10/24/2011. As stated in the breakfast event program, "They had [the student] in the emergency room 24 minutes after they reached her. They made the life saving decision to call off a helicopter that would have carried her to Harborview Medical Center, the region's trauma hospital. Snohomish paramedics decided the 14-year old was too hurt to wait or make the helicopter flight to Seattle. Instead, they began racing toward Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett. Paramedics worked to keep the girl's heart beating as they headed across the U.S. 2 trestle into Everett. They knew only surgeons could save her."
