Take a CPR class First Aid classes will not teach you how to perform CPR. If you see a person pass out, follow these steps: Make sure that when you approach the victim you will not get hurt Tap the person's shoulder and shout Are you OK If they respond, then ask them what happenedIf they do not respond contact an ambulance right away Look, Listen, and Feel for breathing, watch to see if their chest rises, and put your cheek near their face to see if you can hear them breathing or feel it on your cheek. Do this for about 10 seconds.If they are breathing, simply keep an eye on them and check their condition regularly until help arrivesIf they are not breathing, alert the ambulance crew that you don't think they are breathing To check their pulse, place two fingers (not your thumb) on their adam's apple and slide towards you around their neck until your fingers find a notch in the muscle. You can practice this on yourself until you find a pulse anytime. Do not attempt to do CPR unless you are trained to do so. If at any time the person regains consciousness keep them as comfortable as possible. Keep them warm and dry, but do not give them anything to eat or drink.
Saltwater is damaging to fire pumps. The impeller of a fire pump is made of brass, and saltwater, a corossive, would eat away the brass impeller. The saltwater would also collect in the joints and piping of the pump restricting the flow as well as the hoses and nozzles. Saltwater is also heaver than fresh water and doesn't flow or project as far as fresh water.
