Seconds matter,
Today Hilltown Ambulance was dispatched to the town of Chester for an individual with a serious leg injury. Prior to the arrival of Hilltown paramedics both Chester-Blandford Police Department and Chester Volunteer Fire Department arrived on scene within minutes of the 911 call being placed. Without hesitation a tourniquet was placed by first responders on scene. This act without a doubt saved the life of the patient who is experiencing an arterial bleed. Thankfully, because of the intervention provided by first responders on scene, there was a positive outcome.
