Friends of Forth Valley recently donated six mobile defibrillators which are going to be carried on board marked police vehicles in the Falkirk area so they are available should a potentially life threatening situation arise.
Martin Stuart, from Friends of Forth Valley, handed over the life saving devices to Falkirk Area Commander, Chief Inspector Lynsey Kidd last month.

received training to prepare for the introduction of defibrillators and they know the vital difference this first aid equipment can make.
