They have been active for the past six or seven years.
When an ambulance control centre receives a 999 call and the patient has chest pains, breathing difficulties, is in cardiac arrest (unconscious and not breathing) or unconscious, an ambulance response is sent and if a group is active in that area, a first responder will also be dispatched.
They may be able to reach the patient before the ambulance arrives because they live or work in a small radius of that area and when the patient’s seriously ill, every second counts. First responders carry oxygen and a defibrillator and are thoroughly trained in the use of that equipment.

The Denghie Hundred is a considerable distance from emergency hospital services and the support of volunteers such as Steve and Tony can save vital minutes.
Theirs is a well deserved honour!
