AED ~ Thank you!

A big Thank You to all those who attended one of Fire Captain Tom Milliken's six seminars on the new public access Automated External Defibrillator now installed at Forbes Hall.  

All together, seventy residents attended and now know what the difference is between a heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest, why we call 911 immediately, and how to use the AED.  

The Fire Department is pleased with the interest shown and feel there is a good level of skill and understanding amongst community members to handle a cardiac arrest at the community centre.  

We know that a person doesn't learn this skill to help themselves, and it shows what a caring community we have.
