Their quick thinking and action helped the resident to quickly get medical care, and we are so very grateful for their incredible service!
Oscar and Dillion said they owe their quick actions to the training they received from Decatur Fire & Rescue, when they took a hands-only CPR class.
“For every minute that CPR is withheld, a cardiac victim’s chance of recovery decreases by 10 percent,” says Lieutenant Brandon Sivley, who serves as a community trainer for CPR classes. “Our educational program can enable residents to provide immediate care in the interim until first responders arrive.”
