AHA CPR/BLS Instructor Course this Sunday 11/27/2011

We are hosting an American Heart Association CPR – Basic Life Support Instructor Course this Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend.  Currently, we have only two openings left. Give thanks – learn to teach CPR!!

First NH Course – Complete!

Mine Brook Search & Rescue, Inc. completed its first course in NH today.  Now there are 8 more qualified people in Manchester NH who can help with First Aid, CPR and use the AED!!!  Nice Work.

David Jacobs Kotz – Last Man Standing

Mine Brook Search & Rescue founder, David Jacobs Kotz, won the Last Man Standing contest while taking the 4 day tactical pistol course at Front Sight Firearms Academy!  The event is a single elimination contest where shooters have to eliminate a hostage taker, and NOT hit the hostage, then eliminate two other “bad guys”.  David was very lucky, and beat several other very well qualified shooters from SWAT teams, USMC, USN, US Army etc.  NICE WORK Dave!

Mine Brook Search & Rescue, Inc. – Training Center

In the next few weeks, we have courses scheduled in Newark DE, Pittsburgh PA, Manchester NH, Waltham MA, Agusta ME.  We cover the entire Northeast!!

Help Wanted: Mine Brook Search & Rescue. Inc. – Training Center

A can of food and a good dose of patience

Another rescue for Mine Brook SAR this morning! Today, David & Lisa Kotz teamed up to rescue a small cat “stuck” 25′ up in a tree. Our safety officer, Susan Fitzgerald, would be very proud of them – instead of using a ladder on the small, unstable tree, the pair used a can of food and a good dose of patience. 5 min later the cat had come down the tree and was very happy to be eating the food. Nice work!!
