The First Five Minutes: What Bystanders Can Do Before Help Arrives
When someone calls 911, the response begins immediately—but those first few minutes before responders reach the scene are often the most critical. In many emergencies, the actions taken by ordinary citizens can make the difference between life and death, yet most people hesitate or feel unsure of what to do. In this episode of LifeLine, we examine the hidden power of bystanders, the simple steps that protect victims and responders alike, and why early action matters more than most callers realize. Through practical insight and real-world examples, we reveal how anyone can become the most important part of the chain of survival long before the sirens arrive.
