BERT Emergency Response Training Participant Testimonial : ...the other day I watched a wreck on I-10 where a car hit a truck and sent it out of control to where it flipped into the other lane. Your course kicked in.... Me and my guy jumped out of our truck I told him to call 911 and get that handled and I ran to the old man in the truck. A lady stopped and asked what she could do... I sent her to my truck and gave her my employee's name to ask for my first aid box. The others came up and asked, I had them directing traffic until authorities came up and I was putting bandages on the 92 year old head to stop the bleeding. Then another man came up with a medical kit and I asked if he had any training and he had first responders cert so I then stepped back and took direction from him until the medical staff got there to take him to the hospital. The old man never passed out and never complained. The rail of the truck or the strut that holds the roof bent down and scalped the old man when the truck flipped. After it was over, I thought of your (BERT) training and the fact that it all fell into place.
