Firefighter administers CPR while climbing down ladder

Thanks for chiming in! Yeah, I think we agree completely.

The only thing I'll note is that most lay responder training through the Red Cross at least (and all training that I teach) continues to endorse rescue breaths as a part of routine CPR for adults as well. The language in the training materials on compression only CPR is "compression only is appropriate if you are unwilling or unable to provide rescue breaths, although it's not appropriate if the victim is a child, an electrocution victim, a drowning victim, or otherwise has a respiratory problem".

The compression only CPR skill for adults through the red cross is mainly taught through a totally separate class. And that class is not one they push or advertise much outside of a new online certification offered.

The data on compression only CPR improving bystander CPR rates is pretty incredible too. I know within the organization though the big push was ensuring you're not replacing people trained in full CPR with compression only CPR, but instead supplementing those already trained with a pile more new people trained in compression only CPR. Due to a reorganization and refocusing of the mission that second half of the equation never came to be within the Red Cross, and that's a fun story.

Remember, CPR/BLS/ACLS/PALS certification is through AHA in spite of where the certification is obtained through (such as Red Cross or healthcare institutions).

This is incredibly pedantic, but my understanding was that it flowed through ILCOR (of which the AHA is a member and the Red Cross isn't). And the Red Cross story is that their "scientific advisory council" develops the programs through ILCOR recommendations. (Which with the AHA being a member seems incredibly pedantic, but is worth noting as it can result in slightly different protocols. Conscious choking skills at least used to differ between the organizations, I don't know if AHA have got on board with the inclusion of backblows or not so I can't say for certain. If you're ever bored (and haven't already) a deep dive on Henry Heimlich is both interesting and terrifying)
