THE latest purchase by the Okehampton Lions Club could save lives of those in the area.
The group has bought two defibrillators to be installed at the new OCRA sports pavilion being built in the grounds of Okehampton College, and Okehampton Primary School. The primary school has been chosen as an ideal site due to its close proximity to Okehampton Rugby Club.
The Lions have also set up accompanying training that will cover CPR, the recovery position, basic first aid and use of the defibrillator units.
The training sessions taken place on May 14 at Okehampton College from 6pm to 7.30pm.
