ROSCOMMON COUNTY– Gerrish Firefighters and EMS workers led Career and Technical Education (CTE) students while they participated in competency testing to assess their knowledge in CPR/AED and choking. The exercise began with identifying an unresponsive individual who was not breathing. Subsequently, students assigned roles to call 911, initiate CPR, perform chest compressions, administer rescue breathing, and operate the AED. Working in teams, students rotated roles every 10 minutes to simulate a realistic scenario, gaining insight into the duration and challenges involved. These students all earned their CPR certification at the end of this weeklong class.
