FIRST RESPONDERS
PITLOCHRY COMMUNITY
IN EMERGENCIES ~ CALL 999
Pitlochry Sits Within Scotland's Highland North Perthshire
The Town Is Complemented By Outlying Rural Communities
Pitlochry Community First Responders (PCFR) Assists The Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS)
Due To Our Rural Location, The Ambulance Service Often Has To Travel Time-Consuming Distances To Reach Emergencies.
As A Solution, SAS Have Trained Local, Unpaid Volunteer First Responders Who Reside In Pitlochry And its Surrounds.
They Can Get To An Emergency Scene Quicker And Administer Vital Life-Saving First-Aid Until The Ambulance Service Arrives.
The Ambulance Control Centre (ACC) Deploys The On-Duty Responders When A Local 999 Call Is Received.
Using Their Own Vehicles, Day Or Night, Pitlochry First Responders Operate In A Limited-Area Polygon, Which Is Set By SAS.
ACQUIRING PUBLIC FUNDING IS CRUCIAL TO CONTINUE
SAVING LOCAL LIVES
On Behalf Of The Extended Communities We Serve,
Your Support Is Highly Valued
Thank You!
Fundraising Is Key
Each First Responder Needs To Be Fully-Equipped With Vital First-Aid Kit
This Includes Oximeters, Thermometers, Sphygmomanometers Defibrillators And Oxygen ...
To Name Just A Few!
Responders Also Require Recognisable Branded Protective Clothing
These Essential Items Will Need Continual Replenishment As Callout Frequency Demands.
The Cost Of These Items Is High, As Only Quality Medical-Grade Equipment Can Be Used.
As More Volunteers Are Gratefully Welcomed Onto The Team, So The Need To Provide Them With This Equipment, Increases.
PCFR Is A Non-Profit Charity
