first aid

We had a great conversation on the air this week about life-saving techniques.

Times are tough financially for some people and it could be why volunteerism is down across the county for EMS Services as cited by Manchester Township who will soon be rolling out a paid EMS program.

An EMT who came to the rescue of a resident who wasn't breathing at a Wawa in Toms River Thursday is being hailed as a hero today.

A woman was in need of first aid after falling while getting her two grandchildren off 'The Crazy Bus Ride' located on Casino Pier in Seaside Heights Thursday night.

Some fireworks are legal and some are not, but a trash can fire in Harvey Cedars last night was due to what borough police say were "spent fireworks".

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.

In this rough and tumble economy, getting anyone to do anything for free is not the easiest task, even if it could be a matter of life or death.

Looking at the question in the headline, I don't think that the answer is necessarily cut and dry. If you happened to witness an accident (but weren't involved), there are valid reasons for both stopping and not stopping.

Yesterday was the first day of camp for my 6 year old love bug.  And yep you guessed it, she got a splinter in the picnic table.  Geeeeeeeeeez...drama!  As I laugh, but really feel anxious knowing she's not going to let me get it out.
