"I attended a course in June at Norwood fire station. I've carried my blast bandage ever since. Today, I used my knowledge at an accident where a car turned right and cut across a biker. Thanks to you guys, I was prepared and able to sort it out. Thankfully, everybody walked away... But just wanted to say to you guys, your course rocks and to keep doing it, it was invaluable today. Thanks."
