Saskatoon police say they revived a 19-year-old fentanyl user with an emergency dose of naloxone on Wednesday night. Patrol officers in the city began carrying the emergency treatment for opioid overdoses at the end of April but this was the first time they've been called upon to use it. A caller reported a man had taken fentanyl and was unresponsive. Police arrived at the home first and administered naloxone spray, reviving the patient. Police say people should call 911 in similar medical emergencies without fear of criminal charges.
