So so so true. Anyone can perform CPR. What matters is getting it started ASAP in case of Cardiac Arrest.

Two of our members had the opportunity to attend a presentation in Dublin this evening by the @AmbulanceNAS for National Volunteering Week, recognising the work done by Community First Responders throughout the COVID19 pandemic. @ARoss_NASNL_CEO @CFRIreland

[Rathdrum Community First Responders @RathdrumCFR]

It's very fitting that today's presentation fell on the day dedicated to healthcare volunteers.

We'd like to say a massive thank you to all our volunteers and to everyone who volunteers their time. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to our community.

[Rathdrum Community First Responders @RathdrumCFR]

A big thank you to Servier Ireland Industries, Arklow for their donation as part of their CSR (corporate, social, responsibility) programme. Helping out local charities and voluntary organisations in the community. John Gahan presented the cheque on their behalf.

[Rathdrum Community First Responders @RathdrumCFR]

Please note that the defibrillator at Pat O'Toole Park / Avonmore FC is currently out of service. The nearest defibrillator is outside the Craft Butchers on Main Street.

We hope to have this defibrillator returned to service soon.

Work is continuing to convert the Trinity Skoda Kodiaq for emergency use, including: installation of emergency lights, sirens & auxiliary battery and application of high vis reflective livery.

If you can help here or retweet it would be really appreciated - as you can imagine the owners are really distressed- thank you- let’s try unite Sandwich back with his dad. He went missing from Rathdrum in Wicklow.

[Amanda Ross @ARoss_NASNL_CEO]

Instructor course No. 2 under way & going great. @Liam_NASNLCEO & I joined by 14 new candidates who are starting on their road to be a fully qualified @Irishheart_ie /@PHECC CFR C instructor. All made possible through the Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest Strategy @GerODea_NAS_CEM

[Ger O Dea @Ger_O_Dea]

Delighted to hear An Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD recognising the work being done by our dedicated @AmbulanceNAS community first responders.
They have evolved their practices to provide emergency care in their communities with safety a priority while responding in a pandemic.

[Wicklow Civil Defence @WicklowCD]

Our Drone team was tasked by the Arklow @gardai_ww to assist in a multi agency Search for a missing person in Brittas Bay this afternoon.
