Stroke: Know the signs

April 25, 2018 By Fireline Admin

Strokes can be scary and can happen to anyone, but if you are able to recognize the signs and get help quickly your chances of making a full recovery are greatly improved.  Take the time to learn FAST. FAST is an easy way to remember and identify the most common symptoms of a stroke.

  • F stands for FACE: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
  • A stands for ARMS: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
  • S stands for SPEECH: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?
  • T stands for TIME: If you observe any of these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately.
