A teenage boy becomes trapped under an industrial riding lawnmower. With a cutting blade embedded in his chest and a severely injured arm, he fights for life alone until he’s eventually discovered, setting off a multi-agency emergency response. STARS is dispatched, and the skilled crew that responds works shoulder-to-shoulder with allies to give the boy a chance at life. Season 2 of the STARS podcast Mission Ready, presented by ARC Resources, starts April 16. Find bonus material at https://​stars​.ca/​m​i​s​s​i​o​n​ready.
