Deputies arrived at the scene and found one person unconscious. A person at the scene did not know what the female took. A deputy administered Narcan.

Medical personnel arrived and gave Narcan to the third person.
All three were taken to the hospital for treatment.
The overdose victims were described only as female, and it took place in Reno.
“I am proud of our deputies for their quick and heroic actions in saving the lives of these young individuals from a fentanyl overdose,” Sheriff Darin Balaam said in a statement. “This incident serves an as stark reminder of the extreme danger posed by fentanyl.”
Even a small amount of fentanyl can be dangerous, Balaam said. He urged people with addictions to get help.
