A training session on CPR and defibrillator use has been organised in Tisbury.

The initiative by Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service (DWFRS) follows the success of similar sessions earlier this year.

Those interested in learning more about CPR and defibrillator use can attend the session, which will be held at the fire station on The Avenue at 10am on Saturday, September 28.

The free, two-hour session will be led by a DWFRS casualty care trainer, with assistance from firefighters.

Station manager Brady Morris said: "With more and more defibrillators now installed in publicly available places, our aim is to give people the confidence to step in if they see someone collapse.

"These sessions have been extremely well received elsewhere, so we look forward to welcoming lots of people to gain this potentially life-saving awareness."

The session also provides an opportunity to explore the fire station and find out more about becoming an on-call firefighter in Tisbury.

Mr Morris continued: "Tisbury firefighters have a vital role to play in keeping the local community safe, so this session is also a great opportunity for anyone interested in joining our on-call team to have a chat with the crew about what the job involves."
