A demonstration on how to perform CPR effectively and how to unpack and use an AED (automated external defibrillator) was given to about 20 locals at Putty Hall on Saturday 28 June.
An AED has recently been installed at Putty Hall. Others are located in and around Putty, and the Putty Rural Fire Brigade vehicles have one each.
A Rural Fire Service first aid trainer brought with her some CPR training mannequins and a training AED.
This was a ‘familiarisation’ only of both CPR and the AED operation and no formal accreditation was achieved.
At the close of the session, attendees stayed for a chat and a sausage sizzle lunch.
