Teenagers taught CPR at Salford Fire Station

IF it's good enough for Vinny Jones, it's good enough for Green Watch at Salford!

They were on hand today as pupils from Buile Hill Visual Arts College were taught lifesaving CPR at Salford Fire Station.

With heart problems killing one out of three people, the course was organised by Station Manager Dean Ogden working with Salford Council.  The course was delivered by Heartstart which is part of the British Heart Foundation.

The 16 year olds were taught about the importance of heart health before being taught how to do chest compressions and mouth to mouth.

Station Manager Dean Ogden said: "It's great that the children learn lifesaving skills inside our station, because the station belongs to the community.  This is a trial but we hope to target every secondary school in Salford."
