Emergency First Response^® would like to congratulate the following Emergency Responders who put their training into action when called upon to offer assistance.

In Russia

Emergency Responder: Yuriy Vopilov

Action: Vopilov was walking down the street when he saw a girl riding a scooter. As she passed, he saw that she had an epileptic seizure, fell and hit her head on the pavement. Though he felt like he’d forgotten all his skills and was nervous to make contact, Vopilov approached the victim, introduced himself and got permission to help. He turned her on her side, put a soft cloth under her head, checked her breathing and heartbeat, then called for emergency medical services. He stayed next to the victim to make sure she controlled her breathing until EMS arrived.

EFR Instructor: Lilia Vinogradova (#295238)
