As a 25 year veteran (100% volunteer) to the EMS and Fire arenas i must say first ...these are excellent training videos that are being posted and I'm familiar with many of them. That said...in the States...the American Red Cross as well as the American Heart Assoc. both offer very inexpensive training courses that most ambulance companies/associations offer at even lesser costs. The best thing to remember...Call emergency services and use common sense in any emergency!
