About Saline First Responders
Saline First Responders is a registered Scottish Charity ŌĆō covering Blairhall, Comrie, Oakley, Carnock, Gowkhall, Steelend, Blairingone and surroundings.
Saline First Responders Description
For those of you who are wondering what First Responders are ŌĆō here is a short explanation. First Responders are volunteers who are trained by the Scottish Ambulance Service to attend medical emergencies within the ŌĆ£footprintŌĆØ or local area. Most heart attack patients die within 8 minutes of having their heart attack and as we are in an area which is difficult for ambulances to respond to very quickly, the First Responders have been set up. It is therefore hoped that with well trained, well equipped Responders we will be able to reduce potential deaths /complications within our community. The First Responders are not a replacement for the ambulance service ŌĆō when you dial 999 a First Responder will be despatched (if one is available) and the ambulance is despatched at the same time.
Our ŌĆ£footprintŌĆØ takes in Saline, Blairhall, Comrie, Oakley, Carnock, Gowkhall, Steelend and outlying farms.
Please email salfru999@gmail.com if you have any questions
We also provide First Aid Cover for events and although described as a business - we are a non-profit business serving our communities.

In 2019 we have: trained 652 people in CPR and defib, provided 12 talks and demonstrations and provided 17 events with first aid cover and helped place 3 public access defibs! None of this would be possible without your support! Please think of us this Christmas time and if you can help us out with a wee donation - we would be VERY grateful!
