Current CPR protocol no longer includes giving breaths. It's compressions only. They found that pausing to give breaths did more harm than good (that's time the heart is not being pumped).
I also keep extra dog leashes in my truck (one is actually a horse lead). In the event I come across someome in need of assistance, that maybe has a dog or horse involved, I want to be able to help them as well. (I started thinking about this after there was a major wreck that involved a horse trailer with 5 horses, & most of the FD on scene didn't have experience with horses.)
Fire extinguisher, a tool for breaking windows, latex (or latex free) gloves,leather gloves, to name a few other possible options.
