The Surprise Fire-Medical Department is offering free non-certifying classes to the community to learn hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation and training on using an automated external defibrillator.

This event is open to all residents aged 10 and older. All attendees must sign-up in advance using the online form.

Immediate life-saving action is crucial to helping someone in cardiac arrest.
Residents could make all the difference by calling 911 and starting hands-only CPR. This training provides an easy and effective method for any bystander to double or even triple a cardiac arrest victim's chance of survival.
Additionally, the use of an AED can restore a normal heartbeat rhythm after cardiac arrest and learning how to operate an AED is essential.
