BROWNSVILLE, Texas – Fort Brown Border Patrol Explorer Post 975 assisted the City of Brownsville with their Second Annual Save A Life – Learn Hands
On Saturday, June 1, 2019, Fort Brown Explorer Post 975 volunteered their time to the City of Brownsville to assist with hands only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) demonstrations for participants wanting to learn a basic lifesaving technique. The event, held at the Brownsville Sports Park, was free to the public and featured testimonies from people who had used these techniques to save lives.
During the event, Border Patrol Agent David Anderson shared a story of a U.S. Navy Corpsman who provided chest-only compressions to a U.S. Marine Gunnery Sergeant for an hour and fifteen minutes as the sergeant was transported to a medical facility and ultimately saved his life. Agent Anderson challenged the explorers to beat the time and commitment of the Navy Corpsman. Of those that participated, only Special Explorer Supervisor Anthony Lozano successfully completed the challenge.
