PulsePoint CPR App Saves A Life
Off-duty firefighter, Scott Brawner, was working out when the PulsePoint app on his smartphone went off.
He responded immediately, interrupting his workout and rushing to the location indicated on his phone.
There he found Drew Basse. Brawner began CPR within a minute of the PulsePoint app and Basse is alive today.
Brawner received The Citizen Life Saving award on Monday and Drew Basse was present.
The app is available in your app store. Once downloaded, you can select the fire department to follow. The app is not available in all areas.
