First
Responder (Medical)
Professional
firefighters in Surrey are all trained and licensed to provide pre-hospital
care to people who are injured or experiencing a medical problem. From a
choking child, to a person suffering from a heart attack or a fall. Every
first response unit in the City of Surrey carries an automatic external defibrillator.
Use
of an AED within the crucial 4-6 minutes from time of arrest will significantly
increase the survival chances for patients. Medical response is a value-added
service provided by the Fire Service at no additional cost to the taxpayers
of Surrey.
