Fairview Fire Rescue will host a bystander CPR and Stop the Bleed class from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28. The class will be held in the Town Council Chambers on the first floor of Town Hall.
Participants will meet local firefighters and learn valuable life-saving skills. It can take several minutes for first responders to arrive on scene, so knowing and using critical life-saving skills until help arrives can significantly increase the chances of survival.
The class includes Hands-Only CPR instruction that focuses on teaching high quality chest compressions and using an automated external defibrillator (AED).
During the “Stop the Bleed” portion of the class, participants will learn methods to help control major bleeding. Taking the class does not result in any official certifications.
The number of participants is limited, so reserve a spot today. Participants must be at least 18 years old.
