American
Red Cross for Wilderness First Responder Training
Are you wanting First Responder training? You can get it through American
Red Cross. They have the training program and with an affiliate instructor
and provider, you too can be medically trained, to be used in your home as well
as out and about. Don't stand and watch! Be trained, and don't
worry, do the best you can as you are protected by the Good Samaritan act for
liability. Just be prepared to help, and it will get in your blood.
Your local volunteer fire department needs you too, if you get hooked and want
to help locally. There is something about that phone ringing in the middle
of the night. There is nothing better. We know, we are all
wilderness first responder trained at Ozark River Company.
