CPR and Stop the Bleed Classes
Being able to apply lifesaving techniques during an emergency until first responders arrive can mean the different between life and death for someone.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an essential lifesaving skill that North Metro Fire encourages all residents to learn. For someone who goes into cardiac arrest outside of the hospital, chances of survival are near 10%. However, if someone receives immediate CPR by a bystander until first responders arrive, that person’s chances of survival increase significantly.
Likewise, in the case of a traumatic injury, being able to control bleeding can greatly increase a person’s chances of survival.
North Metro Fire offers free non-certification CPR classes and Stop the Bleed classes throughout the year and also provides options for those needing their CPR certification.
Upcoming CPR/AED Classes:
- We will begin hosting Family and Friends CPR classes at North Metro Fire's Headquarters beginning this summer.
- In the meantime, if you have a group you'd like to have learn CPR, please fill out our request form, and our life safety educator will contact you to coordinate a Family and Friends CPR class.
