Accident Training Classes Prove Fast and Efficient First Aid Care
Four local teenagers were involved in a serious mock accident in the Austin Armory parking lot as part of a five session first aid training course for local ambulance personnel police and firemen under the Northfield Emergency Rescue Team. About 50 participants practiced extracting victims from a two car crash scene including a Resusci-Annie dummy. Some victims appeared to die due to insufficient treatment while others were helped promptly. Instructor Donald Hoffman noted state requirements for ambulance personnel by 1969 and a follow up course will be offered locally. Joyce Gieser, Junior Red Cross president, was the only girl in the class.
