The City of South Lake Tahoe Fire and Police Departments, along with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, and Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District have released a Public Service Announcement about fentanyl awareness.
You can watch the PSA here.
It shares facts about fentanyl and overdoses, including how to recognize an overdose, how to help someone who has overdosed, and what medical resources are available.
"We realized the immediate need for a PSA to bring awareness of the presence of fentanyl in our community and its deadly consequences," said South Lake Tahoe Police Chief David Stevenson.
The PSA is coming out the same week as four people died of suspected fentanyl overdoses in South Lake Tahoe.
