Fire Department launches life-saving app
|

Starting this week, residents can now sign up for the mobile app PulsePoint Respond and help save lives in the community.
PulsePoint notifies subscribers when someone in a public place near them suffers a sudden cardiac arrest and is in need of CPR. The notification is sent to the app at the same time as emergency responders are dispatched to the incident.
In addition to helping save lives, the app also aims to increase transparency and community engagement by allowing users to see a real-time log of all the incidents in the community to which fire personnel are dispatched.
