SINGAPORE – When Mr Lukas Ho was 16 years old in 2019, he saved an elderly woman who was suffering a cardiac arrest after he was alerted to the emergency by the Singapore Civil Defence Force’s myResponder mobile app.
But by the last quarter of this year, SCDF will shorten it to a two-parter to attract more people to become first responders to help others during emergencies. CEPP, comprising one e-learning and two hands-on segments, teaches participants fire safety and core life-saving skills at SCDF’s division headquarters.Many of the upcoming RPP’s training sessions will be online, and the in-person segment will be shortened from eight hours to four hours, said Mr Shanmugam.Mr Ho is one of more than 142,000 registered community first responders on the myResponder app. Since 2019, he said he has responded to around 17 cases of cardiac arrest or fire incidents.
