Less than a year and $32,000 later, all four of the department’s stations have life-saving CPR devices because of the 9-year-old. “I always like to help out people,” Lucas told The Detroit News ahead of presenting a second LUCAS (the brand name of the device) chest compression system to the Fire Department on Sunday. “I thought this was a way to help out people. That's where my dream started." The Rose Township fourth grader, who has attracted international attention, led the way to raise $16,000 each for two of the devices from Kalamazoo’s Stryker Corp.
