The Roswell Fire Department (RFD) will host two free community CPR classes at Fire Station 7. Participants must be at least 12 years of age and a Roswell resident.
The classes will be offered at 9 and 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020 at the fire station located at 8025 Holcomb Bridge Road. Each class is estimated to last no more than an hour and a half and is limited to 20 participants.
RFD will use the American Heart Association's Family & Friends CPR Course, which is for people who want to learn CPR but do not need a course completion card in CPR for their job. The course is ideal for schools and students, new parents, grandparents, babysitters and others interested in learning how to save a life.
The Family & Friends CPR Course teaches the lifesaving skills of adult Hands-Only™ CPR, child CPR and AED use. Skills are taught in a dynamic group environment by using the AHA's research-proven practice-while-watching technique, which provides students with the most hands-on CPR practice time possible.
