circulatory respiration, usage of AED, shelter building, water extraction – among others, this was taught in Wrocław by volunteers who decided to devote Saturday to acquiring skills useful in emergency situations or erstwhile the victim needs help. Instructors from the Center for Training Engineering and Chemical Forces trained 130 people.
Saturday classes in the unit at Obornicka Street in Wrocław began at 8am and lasted 8 hours. – Due to the large number of volunteers, we created a reserve list. Citizens want to train, they want to have knowledge, they want to be able to respond in a crisis situation. That's good. We inactive have further training on December 6. In full 300 people volunteered for today's classes and those in December – said Colonel Grzegorz Skroba, Commandant of the Centre for Training of Engineering and Chemical Forces in Wrocław on Saturday morning.
Fifty volunteers entered medical training. They were conducted by instructors from the 2nd Military Field infirmary in Wrocław, who prepared for participants demonstrations and exercises in the field of first aid. The classes were divided into 5 thematic blocks, so that each student would get the skills of hemorrhaging, placing the victim in a lateral position established, utilizing AED, putting on a tourniquet or calling for help. – These are any grounds, but never adequate training and it would be good if as many Poles could give first aid. Awareness is besides crucial – even utilizing AED. Very many people not only do not know how to usage it, but they have no thought that this defibrillator is mostly available in public places – specified as gas stations, buying malls, railway stations, sports facilities and much more. specified training as present is meant to change it – to realise that specified equipment is and to learn how to usage it, so as not to be afraid to scope for it erstwhile needed. We are pleased that the interest in training is large – admits Colonel Jarosław Bukwald, commander of 2nd Military Field infirmary in Wrocław.
Marta Pazgrat from Wrocław arrived on Saturday morning for medical training to refresh cognition and skills already acquired. I was a Boy Scout a long time ago. I got the basics. I have decided on the current training possibly a small out of the desire to see how much I remember, of the desire to regain this cognition and skills, and I must say that cognition is coming back, although it is surely more modern now. At least we were taught the usage of tactical stasis, or professional tourniquet to cover the haemorrhage. They were more improvised dressings during the Scouting era, e.g. utilizing a pants strap," says the volunteer.
On the another hand, Piotr Kasprzyk admits that he entered the training for 2 reasons: an uncertain global situation and the desire to get the skills to supply assistance to the nearest ones if necessary. “I just want to know how I can aid a household or another people in need,” he emphasizes.
#in Ready to Survive
In the polygonal areas of the Centre for Training of Engineering and Chemical Forces, training from endurance took place. On a cold Saturday morning, 80 volunteers appeared to be there to gain skills specified as responding to distress signals, coping with shelter situations, extinguishing fires, organizing temporary shelter in the field, setting fires, water treatment in the field, or utilizing a map and a compass.
Robert Wojakowski of Wrocław admits that the training was motivated not only by the situation in Europe and the threat of war, but besides by the anticipation of applicable usage of acquired knowledge. – I am intensively engaged in cycling and mountain tourism, so for me it is simply a valuable issue, for example, to build a shelter in the forest utilizing a simple camping pad. I frequently go on long trips in summer, where it happens to sleep in a tent, hidden, so specified cognition can be truly useful – he admits.
