ANNAPOLIS and FREDERICK, MD – The Maryland Automobile Dealers Association (MADA) and Shockley Honda of Frederick are presenting the Guardian Hose Fire Company of Thurmont with a set of new Resusci Anne CPR training mannequins. The life-like devices provide real life simulation and performance measures so that volunteers can quickly sharpen their skills in performing CPR, the Heimlich maneuver and other life saving techniques
"This is a great opportunity for us to help many people by supporting the fine work of our emergency workers,” said Marisa Shockley, CFO of Shockley Honda.
“The Annie mannequins help volunteer rescue workers hone their CPR skills and also allow them to host CPR training sessions for local organizations,” said MADA president, Peter Kitzmiller. “The more people who are trained in CPR, the greater the benefit to the community.”
MADA offers the mannequins, valued at $1,500 each, through a partnership with the National Automobile Dealers Association Foundation. Since 1975, the foundation has distributed over 4,100 training units throughout the U.S., to provide training for more than 1.9 million people. Local organizations may apply for a Resusci-Anne at www.nada.org.
Founded in 1887 and comprised of more than 200 members, the Guardian Hose Fire Company, Inc. provides fire and rescue services to a predominantly rural area in the Piedmont region of Maryland adjoining the Catoctin Mountains (part of the Appalachian Mountains) in Frederick County.
