Life-saving equipment

Dunblane First Responders have issued a reminder that there is an automated external defibrillator machine for public access in the village.

The potentially lifesaving machine is in a covered porch area of the Dunblane Centre and can be accessed by any member of the community in the event of a cardiac arrest.

The machine was donated to the community by the group.

Dunblane First Responders also delivers British Heart Foundation HeartStart courses free of charge on a regular basis.

The courses teach members of the public to perform effective CPR and to deal with heart attacks, choking and severe bleeding.
