🚑 STOP THE BLEED Training 🚑
This week, members of the Sound Beach Fire Department attended a Stop the Bleed course sponsored by Stony Brook University Hospital.
Severe bleeding from traumatic injuries is a leading cause of preventable death — accounting for 40% of trauma-related fatalities and 35% of pre-hospital deaths.
Our members trained in lifesaving skills including:
➡️ Applying direct pressure
➡️ Wound packing
➡️ Proper tourniquet application
We remain committed to ongoing education so we can better serve our community when emergencies happen.
Interested in this kind of hands-on training?
👨‍🚒 We are always looking for new members!
Send us a message to learn more about joining the department.
