Burghfield Area Community Responders (BACR) are a team of volunteers from the Burghfield, Grazeley and Wokefield villages, south of Junction's 11 & 12 of the M4 Motorway in Berkshire.
Our goal is to deliver emergency life support to our area within 4 minutes of a 999 call.
Our goal is to deliver emergency life support to our area within 4 minutes of a 999 call.
From July 4th 2006 to date we have attended 410 call outs, with Christmas day 2007 being the busiest having attended 4 call outs.
We carry medical
containing oxygen and an Automated Defibrillator (AED)
which enables
us to attempt to shock a cardiac arrested patient back to life in those vital first 4 minutes and maintain
until an ambulance arrives.
We work under mandate of the South Central NHS Ambulance Service (SCAS) and are trained and dispatched by their staff & controllers. BACR itself, is a voluntary organisation that administers the CR-17 kits to our area on a (soon to be) 24 * 7 basis.
We rely on
from the public and local businesses to keep our service operational.

In an emergency - dial 999 and if appropriate an ambulance controller will dispatch a community responder.
