Recently
the Brentwood Fire and Rescue Department has experienced a dramatic increase in
the number of people who are surviving cardiac arrests. This is due to three
primary factors; new hypothermia protocols, increased public access to
Automatic Electronic Defibrillators (AEDs), and initiation of bystander CPR. With
the help of citizens, we hope to see that trend continue!
CPR
is not difficult or time consuming to learn.Every Friday in the month of February the Brentwood Fire & Rescue
Department is offering free classes the public.Each class lasts approximately 2 hours and
offers training on infant, child, and adult CPR.For adult CPR, participants will be taught
both traditional and “hands only” CPR (no mouth-to-mouth breathing).This class will utilize the American Heart
Association (AHA) “Family and Friends” curriculum, therefore no CPR card will
be issued. More information regarding
this program can be found on the AHA website at www.heart.org.
Only
one Friday commitment is required to learn these lifesaving skills.To sign up or for more information regarding
times and locations, contact firefighter Scott Barnes at barness@brentwood-tn.org or call 371-2200 ext. 4523 or Robin Forte at forter@brentwood-tn.org (615-371-0170).
The Brentwood Fire and Rescue Department is offering community CPR classes at The Brentwood Library in February. Each class is limited to 16 people and is intended for people ages 16 and up. The class is based on the Friends and Family CPR platform. This program from the American Heart Association is very informative and hand-on, but no card is given out at the end. Those participating should not expect a "CPR card" at the end of the class. These classes are free and will be held Friday evenings in February from 6:30 - 8:30 pm. To register, please contact Scott Barnes at barness@brentwood-tn.org or call 371-2200 x4523.
Here's a great reason to learn CPR: The Brentwood Fire and Rescue Department has recently experienced a dramatic increase in the number of people who are surviving cardiac arrests. This is due in part to initiation of bystander CPR! With the help of citizens, the Department hopes to see that trend continue. So the Brentwood Fire Department is offering FREE CPR classes at the Brentwood Library every Friday in February. Classes are from 5:30 - 8:00 p.m.
