Retired firefighter on mission to save lives in opioid crisis
Since 1994, Luis Garcia has administered NARCAN — the narcotic blocker used to revive people during overdoses — more than 3,000 times. Now, he’s hoping to save many more.
“It takes a village to save lives in the opioid process,” said Garcia, who travels the state giving free, two-hour classes on how to use NARCAN. “We’re trying to be a part of the solution.”
