Support Firefighter Jim Karp In His Recovery.
On September 5th, 2024, Firefighter Jim Karp responded to a structure fire on the north side of Orland. Alongside his crew, Jim worked tirelessly, searching for victims and battling the blaze. A few shifts later, during a routine morning training session, Jim suddenly felt faint. He was in full gear, including an Airpack, when he collapsed from cardiac arrest. His crew acted fast, immediately stripping off his gear and starting CPR. Thanks to their quick actions and multiple cardiac interventions, Jim was revived and rushed to Palos Community Hospital. Doctors found major blockages in his heart, and Jim underwent a successful quadruple bypass surgery. Though his recovery will be long, Jim remains positive and is determined to return to the fire service.
Jim, his wife Melissa, and their son Ian need the support of the community during this challenging time. His father, Larry, a retired Battalion Chief, knows the strength it takes to face these moments. Jim has been serving as a firefighter in Orland since 2012, and now it’s time for us to step up for him.
