Knowing the basics of first aid can help people cope in an emergency. That’s why Laura Kuczera said she was looking forward to an opportunity to visit Pelham’s Fire Station 1 last Wednesday, Jan. 17, to learn hands-on first aid skills from Fire Prevention Officer Jason Longhurst and Training Officer Greg Young.
The 12-year-old was one of 21 members of the 3rd Fonthill Scouting Group, ages 11 to 14, to learn skills including how to put a person in a recovery position, treat burns, how to wrap bandages, and other basic first aid.
