Donegal Town Community First Responders offer public meeting invite


Public presentation and Q&A session to take place at Donegal Town’s The Central Hotel on November 25
The Donegal Town Community First Responders have invited people to a public information meeting to be held at The Central Hotel in Donegal Town, at 8pm on November 25.
A volunteer group, the Donegal Town Community First Responders respond when a 999/112 call is made regarding cardiac arrest, stroke, or choking, and are dispatched to assist, increasing the chance of survival.
The group provides free training and an opportunity to give back to the community and to save lives.
An online post said: “Help us build a life-saving network in our town.
“We are looking for local people to help establish a Community First Responder (CFR) group in Donegal Town. CFRs are dispatched by the National Ambulance Service to emergency calls in our local area, providing early CPR and defibrillation that can literally mean the difference between life and death.
“Whether you want to be a responder, or just want to help out behind the scenes, we would love to see you there.”
The evening in questions involves a short presentation and a Q&A session.
The group can be contacted via phone on 086 1054283 or email at [email protected] if there are any questions prior to the public information meeting.
