FDNY hosts training program teaching how to stop victims from bleeding out on the streets

Residents in one of the city’s most violence-plagued communities were given lessons Tuesday on how to stop victims from bleeding out on the street in a first-of-its kind program. The FDNY hosted the “Control the Bleed” training program at the NYCHA Van Dyke Community Center in Brownsville – a notoriously gun-plagued area that recently started a “police-free-zone” pilot project.
