Some training the Uhrichsville Fire Department has completed across the state could soon be implemented in the local community.
Chief Justin Edwards and Captain Wes Dillon addressed city council Thursday, detailing new training firefighters at their station completed in places such as Cleveland and Columbus.
Edwards says that techniques taught in the class were new to many in attendance, but are more effective in saving lives.
“It’s getting on that chest, and doing quality compressions until your paramedics or EMS personnel get on the scene to deliver those shocks. They talk about all these fancy meds. The thing that saves lives is this the CPR and the electricity. The AED, or the defibrillator.”
