Plaza Ford Donates CPR Training Devices to Level Vol. Fire Co.

On Thursday, September 5, 2013, Plaza Ford, in partnership with the Maryland Automobile Dealers Association, recently presented four CPR training devices to members of the Level Volunteer Fire Company.

Tom Walls and Charlie Walls of Plaza Ford personally delivered the new devices to the fire station.  The station received two adult and two child-sized devices.  The life-like mannequins will be used to teach cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills to emergency responders and community groups.  The volunteer-run fire company will use the new devices in their community outreach programs as they train local residents in the necessary life-saving skills. 

In conjunction with its dealership members, MADA donates CPR training devices to area fire stations, EMS squads, and other charitable organizations.  The devices are provided through a partnership with the National Automobile Dealers Charitable Foundation. Since 1975, the Foundation has distributed over 4,600 training units with a value of $3 million in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.  To date, over 2 million people have received training using these devices.  Local organizations may apply for a Resusci-Anne by contacting Katie Jones at MADA, 410.269.1710.
