On July 1st, 2023, PulsePoint became available for all of the Benton County Fire Districts. PulsePoint is an application for your smartphone that can alert you to nearby CPR events. If you are trained in CPR, you can respond while emergency crews are on the way. You may arrive before EMS does and can start CPR - the sooner CPR is started, the greater the chance of survival.

There was a recent life save in Eugene by someone using PulsePoint and arriving ahead of the emergency responders. You can read about that here: https://kval.com/.../third-person-recognized-for-saving...
