Thank you to the fd-cpr.com family for sharing this potential life saving technique with our fire service family.

This is a short video clip of a Six Nations Firefighter training which represents a training scenario of a confirmed Vital Signs Absent Firefighter (Firefighter in Cardiac arrest)who has been rescued from a building to the exterior.

Keep in mind that this particular video clip represents a down firefighter who has already been confirmed to be Vital Signs Absent by interior rescue teams, which is why chest compression's are initiated immediately once out of the building.

In any other "Firefighter Down" situation where no vital signs have yet been assessed, all of the same techniques would be utilized except Airway Breathing & Circulation assessments must be completed prior to chest compression's being initiated and an AED being applied.

Once again thank you to fd-cpr.com for sharing this technique with our fire service family and also thank you to all of the Primary Care, Advanced Care & Critical Care Paramedics who also provided advice and insight on the development of this technique for our fire service.

Why FD-CPR?
When the unthinkable happens, and a firefighter collapses on an emergency scene, we need to be prepared to provide care as soon as possible until the arrival of highly trained paramedics.

We know that good neurological outcomes can be had in out of hospital cardiac arrest provided high quality chest compressions are initiated early.

Unfortunately, the resuscitation of a downed firefighter presents a special concern when they're in full turn out gear with an Self Contained Breathing Apparatus strapped to their back.

In essence we have an access issue.

Before we can initiate chest compression's we must extricate the fallen firefighter from their gear & equipment.

Unorganized attempts at removal of turnout gear is time consuming and chaotic and time equals tissue.

Therefore, the fd-cpr family developed a simple technique to remove the firefighting gear from an unresponsive firefighter which requires minimal training and no additional equipment.
