What do you like about this subject?  I have spent the majority of my adult life in the public safety services. It is what I've done, and what I know.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  The layperson is the true first responder to a majority of emergencies. Whether at home, work school.... The ordinary person can do extraordinary things to save lives with just a little knowledge and confidence. CPR and first aid trained people prove that time and time again.
