Public Servants Receive “Stop The Bleed” Donation Quarryville borough employees recently added to their arsenal of emergency response tools with the donation of 10 Stop the Bleed kits and the training needed to place them in service. Each Stop the Bleed kit contains a tourniquet, medical gloves, medical shears, compressed gauze, an emergency bandage, and a permanent marker. The kit is designed to help first responders quickly stanch the flow of blood, as a person who is bleeding severely can die within five minutes due to loss of blood. Members of the borough’s road crew and the Quarryville Police Department received Stop the Bleed training. Stop the Bleed, a program of the American College of Surgeons, is designed to teach members of the public how to react to and halt life-threatening bleeding. The kits and the training were donated by Rogue Enterprises Public Safety Training Company (REPSTC), a locally
owned and operated business that specializes in first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use of an automatic external defibrillator, and related training. REPSTC also offers training in a wide range of topics and skills to public safety agencies relations to certification and continued education. REPSTC training director Edward Burrell Jr., a nationally certified paramedic, coordinated the Stop the Bleed donation, working with Quarryville borough manager Scott Peiffer and Police Chief Clark Bearinger. “With this training and equipment, borough employees are better prepared to respond in an emergency - be it an active assailant, vehicle accident, or other traumatic injury event - to save a life,” Burrell commented. “We applaud Quarryville borough management and employees for making the effort to be better prepared.”
