🫀 CPR can save a life. Knowing what to do matters. 🫀

If someone suddenly collapses and is unresponsive:

🚨 Call 911 immediately
📍 Send someone to get an AED if one is available.

👀 Check for breathing
Look for normal breathing for no more than 10 seconds. If they aren’t breathing or are only gasping, begin CPR.

💪 Push hard and fast
Place your hands in the center of the chest and compress:
✔️ 100–120 compressions per minute
✔️ At least 2 inches deep
✔️ Allow the chest to fully recoil between compressions

⚡ Use an AED as soon as possible
Turn it on and follow the voice prompts. AEDs are designed for everyday people to use and can greatly improve a person’s chance of survival.

❤️ Keep going
Continue CPR until help arrives, an AED is ready to use, or the person begins breathing normally.

Every second counts during cardiac arrest. The actions of a bystander can make all the difference before first responders arrive.

❤️⚡ CPR & AED WEEK • JUNE 1–7 ⚡❤️

Would you know what to do if someone suddenly collapsed?

Every year, thousands of people suffer sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. Immediate CPR and early AED use can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival. The reality is that help is often minutes away—but YOU can make a difference in those critical moments.

🚑 CALL 911
❤️ START CPR
⚡ USE AN AED IF AVAILABLE

CPR is easier than most people think, and modern AEDs are designed to guide you through every step with voice prompts.

This week, take a few minutes to learn or refresh these life-saving skills. The life you save could be a family member, friend, coworker, neighbor, or even a complete stranger.

🫀 CPR keeps blood flowing.
⚡ AEDs help restore a normal heart rhythm.
⏱️ Every second matters.

Join Bennett Firefighters as we recognize CPR & AED Week and help build a safer, more prepared community.

🚒 Under the Turnouts: Lieutenant Tony Galvin 🚒

Tony’s Bennett story started long before he officially joined. His parents began volunteering in the late 90s, so it’s safe to say Tony spent a fair amount of time growing up around Bennett. ❤️

Tony became a cadet in July 2002, became a full member in 2007, served as a volunteer for many years, briefly stepped into a temporary part-time role in early 2019, and became a career member in October 2019. In January 2024, Tony was promoted to Lieutenant. 👨‍🚒👏

With around 23 years of combined service in his many roles, Tony has been a steady part of Bennett-Watkins Fire Rescue. 🔥

Tony currently serves as an A Shift Lieutenant, working between Stations 92 and 93. Around the station, you can often find him laughing, telling jokes, or out with his crew putting in the work. 💪😂🚑

We are grateful to have worked alongside Tony all these years and appreciate everything he continues to bring to BWFR. Thank you for your dedication, leadership, and service to this community! 🇺🇸🚒👏

🚨🩺 EMERGENCY READY: RATTLESNAKE BITE 🐍
Bennett firefighters want you prepared. We’ve already responded to a rattlesnake bite this year and want to make sure our community knows what to do if it happens to you or someone around you. 🚑

⚠️ A rattlesnake bite is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY.�The faster you call 911, the faster antivenom can be given — helping reduce tissue damage and serious complications.

✅ WHAT TO DO:�📞 Call 911 immediately�🧘 Keep the person calm and still�⬇️ Keep the bite at or below heart level�💍 Remove rings, watches, or tight clothing before swelling starts�📸 If it’s safe, take a photo of the snake to help responders identify it

🚫 DO NOT:�❌ Try to catch or kill the snake�❌ Cut the wound�❌ Use a tourniquet�❌ Apply ice�❌ Try to suck out the venom

⚠️ Never pick up a snake that appears dead. Even after death, snakes can reflexively bite and inject venom. Use a shovel or stick if one needs to be moved.

🐍 Some important facts:�• Over 25% of snake bites are “dry bites” with little or no venom injected�• Bite severity may not look serious at first, however symptoms can worsen quickly�• Fang marks are common with rattlesnake and pit viper bites�• Non-venomous snakes are more likely to leave jaw-shaped bite marks without fangs
