When my Daughter was younger we were swimming in Ship Bottom when we were caught in a rip tide. Very scary and I must admit I did panic because she was little and I was having trouble getting her out, lucky for us Ship Bottom Lifeguards were out on boards helping swimmers and they towed us in. That incident left me with a new respect for rip tides and the need to know what to do if caught in one.
For calls both small and large, EMT's are always on call and ready to respond and make sure everyone affected by an accident or medical emergency is treated right away. On day three of our series on first responders, we learn what it takes to be an EMT.

Here are links for where you can get CPR training in Ocean County and how you can get free apps on your phone so you can know what to do in case of a medical emergency.
It can save a life and really there is no reason why everyone should not know how to perform CPR. Today, Sue and I had an opportunity to learn some basic "CPR" training with Cherie Garrison from Hands on CPR Training .... we thank her for taking time to teach us techniques which could possibly save a life.
