After traveling almost 2,000 miles to Colorado, a group of Fort Lauderdale firefighters didn't expect to deal with any emergencies. Then they heard screaming. Running to see what the commotion was about, they found a young woman had been bitten by a rattlesnake while walking her dog in Pulpit Rock Park, on the north end of Colorado Springs. "I thought she was joking at first, but then I see she's crying," Anthony Perazzelli, one of the firefighters, said. "When we got to her, I see the two puncture marks, two to three inches apart, on her shin." Perazzelli and his co-workers quickly applied a tourniquette and carried the woman down a hiking trail, where they were met by Colorado Springs fire rescue workers. The 24-year-old woman, who the firefighters knew only as Sarah, was rushed to a local hospital, where she received several doses of antivenom. Before the incident, about 30 Fort Lauderdale firefighters had been on a special mission: to honor one of their own. They had traveled to Colorado over the weekend to visit the Fallen Firefighter Memorial, two large granite walls dedicated to those who served as professional firefighers. On Saturday, the name of Lt. Kevin Johns, a member of the Fort Lauderdale department, was added. Johns died last September while he was changing a tire Interstate 95 in Boca Raton and struck by another vehicle.
