We had a great day supporting Falkirk Fire Stations Open Day today and we are so glad that some young life savers have left with some new skills!

We will be at Falkirk Fire Station tomorrow supporting their open day. Details of the event below. Our team will be offering CPR and AED awareness sessions so come see us and learn how to save a life ❤️

Thanks to Arnold Clark for their ongoing sponsorship 🚑

Did you know the charity that supports us, The Friends of Forth Valley First Responders, are responsible for over 100 Public Access Defibrillators across NHS Forth Valley?

There isn’t a week that goes by where multiple of these life saving devices aren’t deployed for use by the Scottish Ambulance Service during a 999 Emergency Call.

The defibrillator pads and batteries are all maintained and replenished by funds from our charity to continue saving lives across the health board and making news stories like this a more common occurrence ❤️

Paul Scott's family performed CPR and used a defibrillator on him while they waited for paramedics to arrive.

Would you spot the signs?

We’ve attended cardiac arrests where people thought the patient was “just snoring.”
It wasn’t.
This poster shows how to recognise agonal breathing and what to do.
If it doesn’t look or sound right—trust your instincts.
📞 Call 999
🫀 Start CPR
⏱ Every minute matters
Please share—you could help save a life.

It’s not always possible but when we can we always like to keep our response car, sponsored by Arnold Clark, clean!

This was taken earlier with Kieran and Laura off on the nightshift tonight. It would appear Laura was acting in a supervisory capacity 🤔🚑

Did you know a number of our First Responders provide additional commitment to The Scottish Ambulance Service by responding to the most life threatening of emergency calls when off duty? 🚑

Through the Goodsam Responders App we are setup on a specific staff profile which notifies us of purple coded emergency calls within a 10 kilometre radius 🗺️

This may result in us arriving at the scene of an emergency in civilian clothing as clearly whilst off duty we aren’t in uniform! We will always identify ourselves on arrival ❤️

A great photo whilst our team were on shift yesterday 📸

Thanks to Arnold Clark for keeping us mobile we were able to respond to 7 emergency calls yesterday during the day shift 🚑

The car has been well used today responding to 9 calls so far 🚑

We can’t thank Pavers Shoes and The Pavers Foundation enough, for their second donation to us at Forth Valley First Responders ❤️

These funds will help enable us to keep providing our emergency service alongside the Scottish Ambulance Service 🏥

Pictured are Ruth and Allan collecting the wonderful donation whilst on shift across NHS Forth Valley 👫

Continued thanks also to Arnold Clark who continue to sponsor our response vehicle 🚑

A huge thank you to Stenhousemuir Primary School PTA for their donation for all the work our charity, and particularly Martin in our team does, with Public Access Defibrillators across NHS Forth Valley.

We would like to say a huge thank you to the Forth Valley First Responders for providing the defibrillator once again. We are incredibly grateful for the vital work you do, and to show our appreciation we have made a £500 donation to the charity. Your continued support helps to keep our school and wider community safer, and we truly value the difference you make in helping and protecting others.
