Learn CPR

The District provides American Heart Association-certified CPR classes. Being CPR certified is not only a very important skill to know but you will have the knowledge to help reduce a leading cause of death – cardiac arrest. When someone goes into cardiac arrest outside of a hospital, their lives depend on bystanders administering CPR. For every minute of cardiac arrest, a person’s chances of recovery decreases by 10% without CPR. Be a hero and sign up for a CPR class today. Each class is limited to 20 participants.

 

Class Information

 

Classes will be held at the SPFD headquarters Station #17 at 6900 Eureka Rd in the training room.
