A total of 27 trainees, including Municipal Firefighters, Red Cross and volunteers, completed the training in approaching trauma victims and basic life support with AED (Automated External Defibrillator) in the city of Sal-Rei.
The training took place between the 21st and 24th of March and was given by Jorge Amador from “Medy Ambulâncias” and Vice-National Commander Relief/Humanitarian Efforts of the Templar Corps, and Vitor Brito, Fire Chief of Montijo, Portugal.
