EMT CLASS "PUFFS AND PUMPS"

EMT students at TIERS Training Academy just went through their initial CPR training night, with one more night for review, practice and final testing to go.

In just a few hours, anyone can learn the important procedures that can save a life. "I learned CPR as part of my first EMT class in 1980," says TIERS EMT Steve Abel, "but the most rewarding feeling was using it outside ambulance work: once in a mall store, at an antique engine show near Schoharie. His name was John, and he lived for seven years after that day."

Learning CPR is a serious business and is an integral part of training for emergency responders, fire, police. lifeguards and school personnel, but it is not difficult. TIERS  has held CPR and AED (Automatic External Defibrillator), training  for large and small groups, including the residents of Murray Island (photo, right).

Contact Rolly Churchill at TIERS (686-2058, or director@ti-rescue.org), to set up a CPR or First Aid training program for your group: employees, island or apartment community residents, students, family members, lifeguards, children, etc.
