What would you do in these situations?

[admin]

I am walking down the street and see people who need help. I need to learn how to better help them. Some of these of situations have happened to me before; some I haven’t encountered but would like to be prepared for them.

1. I have on 3 occasions came across women who fell and sprained their ankles. I carried one home. The other times I helped them sit up. How can I better handle this? What EDC item can I bring with me to help.

2. I came across 2 people who fainted. Luckily, it wasn’t serious. They got up within a minute and went on their way. How can I tell minor fainting like this from serious stuff like a heart attack? What can bring and do to better help?

3. Seizure: I came across this twice. Didn’t know what to do. Only learned it was seizure later. How can I identify a seizure from something else. What can I do to help?

5. Dog attack: I haven’t come across one, but would like to be prepared for it. How do you get the dog off the victim? What can you do for the victim afterward? I carry pepper spray and a small knife with me.

6. House burning: I haven’t come across one, but would like to be prepared for it. How do you know when it’s safe to go inside to help someone?

7. Drowning: Haven’t come across one, but would like to be prepared. I haven’t a clue what to do here.

Thanks for any help and suggestions.
