Door numbers very important in life and death
Neil and Hugh McManus are supporting a campaign to get all Cushendall households to make sure and have their house number clearly visible to assist emergency services find your property quickly.
Late last year Hugh McManus suffered a heart attack in his home and his life was saved by a local first responder with a defibrillator.
Ironically the first responder called at Hugh’s house to inquire if Hugh knew where number 12 was, luck was certainly on Hugh’s side explained Neil: “I answered the door and am so grateful my father is alive today.
“We now have a number on our door and I urge everyone to back this campaign. Its costs only a few pounds to get a number. Every minute counts when you are having a heart attack.”
