Action First Aid

We’re excited to be welcoming some new friendly faces 🤗❤️

Our Accounting and Training teams have officially expanded, and we couldn’t be happier to have our newest team members joining the Action First Aid crew!💙

Victoria and Ally aren’t the only new faces around here… stay tuned to meet the newest additions to other departments, too!🎉

Something exciting is happening in Sudbury, Ontario!

Stay tuned for more information on our brand new training centre, coming soon.

We hope you don’t need these, but if you do, you’ll be glad you packed them.

Here’s what we’d recommend bringing:

1️⃣ First Aid Kit
For everyday injuries.

2️⃣ Tick Removal Kit
Remove ticks safely.

3️⃣ Aspirin
For suspected heart attacks.*

4️⃣ EpiPen
Bring a backup if you have one.

5️⃣ Naloxone (Narcan)
Especially important if someone takes opioid pain medication.

6️⃣ LifeVac
For choking emergencies when traditional methods are unsuccessful.

7️⃣ Stop the Bleed Kit
For life-threatening bleeding

8️⃣ Fire Blanket
Quickly smother fires.

9️⃣ AED
Response times are often longer. Every minute without defibrillation reduces the chance of survival.

🔟 Mobile SaveStation Case
Protect your emergency equipment on the dock or boat.

When someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest, immediate CPR and AED use from those nearby can increase survival rates by up to 75%.

Severn is now home to three outdoor, publicly accessible AEDs, available 24/7 in weatherproof, climate-controlled SaveStation cabinets.

Action First Aid also hosted a free awareness session to help community members build the confidence to act in a cardiac emergency.

A huge thank you to North Simcoe Tree Service for generously donating two SaveStations, and to Beers Pharmacy for purchasing and installing a third.❤️

📍 SaveStation locations:
- Coldwater Fairgrounds
- Washago Centennial Park
- Beers Pharmacy (Washago)

If you live in or visit Severn, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with these locations. Knowing where your nearest AED is could help save a life.

Empowering people to take action has always been our goal.❤️💪

Today, we’re celebrating 10,000 people who have joined us on that mission.

Whether you’ve learned a first aid tip, gained confidence to perform CPR, discovered the importance of AEDs, or simply shared our content with someone who needed it; thank you.

Every follow helps us reach more people with lifesaving education and build safer, more prepared communities.

First aid questions? Drop them below, we’d love to address them🙌❤️

Here's what everyone should know about using an EpiPen.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that can happen within minutes. An EpiPen delivers epinephrine to help reverse the reaction while emergency medical help is on the way.

📞 Call 911 immediately if anaphylaxis is suspected.

Remember:
💙☁️ Blue to the sky. 🧡🦵 Orange to the thigh.

🦵 Inject into the middle of the outer thigh (it can be given through clothing if needed).

⏱️ Hold the EpiPen in place for the recommended time shown on your device (follow your specific device's instructions).

🚑 An EpiPen is emergency treatment, not a replacement for medical care. Always seek emergency medical attention, even if the person starts to feel better.

At Action First Aid, we're on a mission to empower people to take action. Follow for more first aid tips and lifesaving education.
