A hundred Spokane and Spokane Valley firefighters today (Wednesday) received new tools that will allow them to save lives while they’re not on duty. They’re participating in a national pilot project designed to help save the lives of people who suffer cardiac arrest in their homes or other private places. For the last several years, people have been able to download a phone app called PulsePoint. It allows them to be notified if someone in a public space within a quarter mile is suffering from cardiac arrest. The idea is that someone who receives the prompt will respond, administer CPR and save a life. Now PulsePoint has built on that. Its new pilot project is aimed at making medical rescues by off-duty firefighters possible in private places, such as homes.
