STOP THE BLEED – Save A Life – Help us help our community

Help us save lives through our STOP THE BLEED community fundraising campaign.

A person can bleed to death in less than 3 minutes.

There is no greater feeling of helplessness than to watch someone’s life pass before your eyes, as you standby helpless without a simple $30 piece of equipment that could save their life and knowing how to use it.

Even in communities well served by EMS services, a person can bleed to death in less than 3 minutes.  It is our goal and that of STOPTHEBLEED.org to prevent needless deaths.

STOP THE BLEED training and the bleeding control tourniquet kits can be used to control severe blood loss in everyday emergencies.  Emergencies such as:

  • Automobile accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Boating accidents
  • Power equipment accidents
  • Animal attacks
  • Shooting incidents

In-Gauge of Polk County, a non-profit organization in Winter Haven, Florida is raising funds to purchase STOP THE BLEED training kits and emergency bleeding control tourniquet kits to be distributed in public venues throughout Polk County, Florida.

Our immediate goal is to purchase 2 STOP THE BLEEDtraining kits, at a cost of $1,200 each and 15 emergency bleeding control tourniquet kits, at a cost of $200 each.

The training kits will be used for training the general public in free STOP THE BLEED training classes. 

The tourniquet kits will be distributed at public venues, selected schools and other non-profit organizations.

In-Gauge of Polk County, a licensed affiliate of STOPTHEBLEED.org is raising money to purchase emergency use, blood loss control, tourniquet kits. The kits will be distributed at selected public locations throughout Polk County, for use by the public, in the event of a blood loss emergency.

NO WARNING SHOTS – Shoot to stop the threat

Florida mail carrier mauled to death by loose dogs. Failed warning shots fired to stop attack.

A Florida postal carrier is dead after being mauled by 5 dogs

“One neighbor brought his firearm along and fired several shots in the air in an attempt to disrupt the attack.” “That was unsuccessful.“

August 23, 2022

A U.S. Postal Service carrier who was attacked by five dogs in Putnam County, Florida, has died, a sheriff’s official said.

Pamela Jane Rock, 61, died at a hospital Monday night, the day after the vicious attack, which a neighbor tried to stop by firing into the air, sheriff’s Col. Joseph Wells said Tuesday at a news conference.

“One neighbor brought his firearm along and fired several shots in the air in an attempt to disrupt the attack,” Wells said. “That was unsuccessful.“

Officers applied tourniquets to stem the loss of blood, but during the drive to the hospital, Rock went into cardiac arrest.

Neighbors and the dogs’ owner pulled the animals off Rock after they heard her scream, he said. The animals were seized and will be euthanized. Additional details about the dogs, including size or breed, were not provided.

Rock’s niece told NBC affiliate WTLV of Jacksonville that Rock had recently completed training with the Postal Service and was in a postal vehicle when it broke down Sunday in a neighborhood about 65 miles south of Jacksonville.

She said that her aunt was horrifically wounded and that doctors amputated an arm in their attempt to save her.

Animal control officials had visited the dogs’ home at least twice in the last three years, Wells said.
