Health First Provides “Stop the Bleed” Training to Melbourne Firefighters

MELBOURNE, FL (December 22, 2016) – Using a tourniquet is a simple tool that could determine whether a person survives a trauma. In the past, using a tourniquet was considered as a last resort to save a life with concern for the loss of a limb.  Now thanks to Health First’s training to more than 130 members of the Melbourne Fire Department, they have learned how to use tourniquets during hostile or mass casualty incidents in a way that will save lives and limbs.
