American Heroes Use CPR
We don’t often hear of police looking for heroes. But at a recent music festival in Virginia City, a man and woman worked together to save the life of a 65-year-man who suffered cardiac arrest.
The man and woman were performing CPR on the victim when the police arrived and relieved the two. Police used an AED, which successfully revived the victim.
If it had not been for the quick actions of the couple, the victim may not have made it through the event.
Virginia City police would like to thank the two who performed CPR.
Be a hero. Learn CPR!
