Help is on the way
The Grey firefighters met for their annual CPR
recertification last week and were trained to use the
department’s brand new defibrillator. Mike Alexander
stepped up to perform CPR while the rest of the firefighters
observed as the machine was used for the first time. The
defibrillator directs the firefighter through voice commands,
instructing him when to perform CPR, when to leave the
patient alone for monitoring and when to administer a
shock. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
