The Ross Group of companies in February donated medical kits and other supplies to the Eaton Township Fire Department to use as part of a “Stop the Bleed” campaign with Midview Local Schools.
The campaign aims to train school staff to administer life-saving techniques in emergency situations. Each kit contains a tourniquet, dressings, gloves, compact chest seal, surgical masks and trauma shears. More than 180 kits were ordered.
The company also provided 5-gallon buckets to store the kits. Every classroom district-wide will receive a bucket and kit.
Fire officials trained more than 300 Midview staff members how to properly administer the supplies in a day-long session on Feb. 17.

The Stop the Bleed program is administered by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS COT), which was formed in 1922. Their goal is to improve the care of injured patients before, during and after hospitalization.
