Welcome to the June edition of the Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service e-Newsletter.
Fire and ambulance launch new cardiac response service
Cheshire firefighters are teaming up with North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) to help deliver life-saving treatment for cardiac arrest patients.
From Monday 6 June, when a person dials 999 to report a suspected cardiac arrest (a condition where the heart stops pumping blood around the body because of a fatal abnormal heart rhythm), both NWAS and firefighters will respond and whoever reaches the casualty first will start providing life-saving treatment. Once the ambulance crew arrives, advanced life support will commence and the patient will be handed into the care of NWAS.
Initially this project will be run as a pilot scheme in Crewe, Frodsham, Holmes Chapel and Warrington but will hopefully be extended to all stations in the future.

Drowning prevention - be water aware
Around 400 people drown in the UK every year and thousands more suffer injury, some life changing, through near-drowning experiences.
Many people that drown just happen to be near water - such as runners, walkers and fisherman.
