CPR Class at Brown Twp Fire Dept

Well, even the youngest person gets into the action of learning CPR. Here Alex is shown giving compression on the small practice baby. This class is sponsored by the fire company free for anyone wanting to take it. Both Lee and I took the class and I would recommend everyone know these basics. The number of breaths to compressions has changed 2 breaths 30 compressions, so those of you with older versions should be aware of the new changes.

Also there is a big lack of trained people in our area. We have a
large number of tourists coming into our area in the summer months and few people trained to help in case of an emergency. Knowing the basics could help save a life.

Of course I got Lee blowing into the baby. There is an advantage to being the one with the camera...you don't have to be in the shots. Both Lee and I are going to take the EMT training, which is more intensive the next time it is offered. Our remote location is sometimes the first point people reach and is a long way from help. Cell phones do not work up here so getting quick and trained help can be valuable. Also it is just wise for us to be trained in all first response care. For more information about classes call Morris Twp Fire dept or Brown Twp Fire depart for class times and places. Or get a hold of your local fire or Red Cross for places to get basic CPR training. One, two... breaths..... one,two,three... thirty compressions. Have a safe summer. Mountain girl, Paula, Logging out!
