Community First Responders for the Trim area responding to cardiac, chest pains, stroke and choking incidents as directed by the National Ambulance Service
As we have been unable to actively fundraise during the past year we have set up an iDonate page for donations. Any contribution is very much appreciated and will help us to continue help our community. https://t.co/ljyGyl19Jr
As part of our remit by the National Ambulance Service (NAS) we respond to Cardiac/Respiratory Arrests, Choking, Chest Pains and Strokes. Since the pandemic happened this was pared back to Cardiac/Respiratory Arrests only.
As our colleagues in NAS are stretched…/
…/we have been asked to return to full duties. We have discussed this and we are willing to return fully for the benefit of our community.
Please remember we are volunteers and returning to full duties puts us at risk to attend additional calls so we ask of you…/
The Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Register reports that bystander CPR was was attempted in 84% of cardiac arrest cases before EMS arrived. @HSELive

If you see a crowd in full PPE outside Franzini’s this evening it is only us having our monthly training session.
If you see us please stop by - we will be very happy to talk to you after our “full dress rehearsal” / “demonstration in real time”.
Did You Know… Today in 1937, the world's first emergency telephone number, 999, was introduced in London.
Dial 112, or 999, to request the immediate services of the Gardaí, Fire Brigade, Ambulance, or Coast Guard

If you phone 999/112 and need an AED, not only will the Emergency Services tell you where the nearest one is to you, they’ll also give you the code to open the box. There are 8 public AED’s in Triim. (The AED in Gillens/Landis/Circle K is behind the counter. )
We’d like to give a very big THANK YOU to @trimcreditunion (@droghedacreditunion) for your very generous donation yesterday.
This is very much appreciated as we rely on donations to keep us going, particularly during these times as our fundraising options are very limited.
Every single night this week @AmbulanceNAS Paramedics/APs & EMTs (&retired staff) across North Leinster were out volunteering with local CFR groups getting ready to go live. Tonight 8 from @BrodyCfr did their final #Essential PPE Assessment @RQuinlan999 @NasDirector @PeopleofHSE
