The Yaiza Civil Protection Group began this weekend a new theoretical-practical training cycle aimed at its more than twenty volunteers, focused on instruction on basic life support maneuvers and the handling of the semi-automatic external defibrillator in order to update knowledge and develop the essential objective of the national cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) teaching plan, which aims to reduce preventable deaths and permanent sequelae.
Apart from these training days that Civil Protection volunteers receive, the Yaiza City Council also has organized basic life support courses for sports coaches and monitors who work with residents of all ages in the wide range of municipal activities, according to the Councilor for Citizen Security of Yaiza, Javier Camacho, who accompanied the volunteers last Saturday on the first day of the training cycle together with the head of the Yaiza Civil Protection Group, Ildelfonso Noda.
The southern City Council also "guarantees" the acquisition of more technical resources to improve the service provided by Civil Protection. In this regard, the mayor of Yaiza, Óscar Noda, has announced that the group will soon have new land and sea vehicles and work material "available to volunteers and for the benefit of citizen security".
