About First Response Training
Stop the Bleed
Why should you be trained in bleeding control? Severe bleeding can kill in as little as 1-5 minutes. That’s faster than most ambulances can arrive (Stop the Bleed campaign data). Average ambulance response in an urban area is 6-7 minutes, in a rural area it is 15-30 minutes with 1 in 10 being over 30 minutes.
Whether it’s an accident in the kitchen, a car crash, or a public emergency, uncontrolled bleeding is a silent killer, and YOU can stop it! Want to know how? Email us at firstresponsetraining4u@gmail.com to schedule your training! Be the RESPONSE!
