“I have family members that have went into sudden cardiac arrest,” Richard Byrd, EMS training captain, Dothan Fire Department, said.“Thanks to the great training, the bystanders that knew hands only CPR, they were able to save their lives and they are alive and well today because of that,” Byrd said.
