Donations Will Help Buy Lifesaving Kits
Sometimes the difference between life and death can be less than five minutes. And in the case of an injury that causes severe bleeding, that is especially true. A donation of $11,875 to the City of Carlsbad Fire Department will help reduce this life-and-death margin, as the money will go toward the purchase of Stop the Bleed Kits, also known as trauma bags.
