A network of Gloucester pubs have pledged to save lives by signing up to get vital defibrillators.
Butlers Venue Bar last week helped save a woman who had collapsed in Eastgate Street.
Doorstaff used a defibrillator machine to perform CPR on her until an ambulance arrived and took her to hospital where she began her recovery.
Now, more and more pubs in the city have signed up to the Public Hearts Scheme - which aims to save even more lives of people who have heart attacks or cardiac arrests in Gloucestershire.
The scheme, set up by Gloucestershire PC Matt Hammond, is helping every venue in the county to fundraise for their own defibrillator.

Mr Hammond says he is now targeting Matson, Podsmead and Kingsway as the next areas to launch the scheme in, along with Coleford, Newent and Stroud.
He said he's confident of having 15 defibrillators installed within the next month.
"It's going very well," he said.
"To have the pubs being able to have access to them is superb. They don't do anything else but save lives."
Mr Hammond was taken aback by what happened at Butlers.
"Even now it's incredible to get that feedback," he said. "It's the one thing you don't want to happen - you don't want to have that trauma in the first place.
"It's absolutely brilliant - it's exactly what the devices are about."
Each defibrillator costs £962, but the premises can claim VAT back so in total they will eventually cost £800 each.
Venues have been encouraged to set up collections at the bar to raise the money needed. Any extra cash is put into a central pot which will be used to buy units for other pubs.
With the help of a Justgiving page, the campaign has now raised up to £13,000.
That means venues only need to raise half the price of a defibrillator - £400 - to get one.
South Western Ambulance Service is also providing training on how to use the defibrillators free of charge.
