North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District Adopts PulsePoint 911 App

Incline Village, NV…We are very pleased to announce the adoption of PulsePoint 911-connected mobile app in Incline Village and Crystal Bay, NV. This app alerts CPR-trained citizens that have downloaded the (free) app to someone nearby having a sudden cardiac arrest. The goal being to increase survivability while first responders are en route. Interfacing with dispatch, the app uses the current location of a user and will alert them if someone in their vicinity, in a public place, needs CPR. Due to scientific research, the American Heart Association’s (AHA) 2020 CPR Guidelines recommend emergency dispatch systems alert willing bystanders through cell phone technology, like PulsePoint to assist in CPR and AED retrieval. As of October 2020, the PulsePoint app is currently in more than 4,000 communities and has built a network of more than 2.5 million subscribers.

Get the app today, available on the App Store and Google Play.
