Immediate life-saving action is crucial to helping someone in cardiac arrest. You could make all the difference by calling 9-1-1 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, using an AED can restore a normal heartbeat rhythm after cardiac arrest, and learning how to operate an AED is essential.

The registration form can be found on the district website https://peeplesvalleyfire.org/vision-and-mission-statement/community-outreach/ under the Community Outreach tab or by clicking here.

Please contact the fire department for a file of life. Fill it out and have it ready for the fire department medical personnel in an emergency. Having this form completed and available for responders could improve the outcome of your medical emergency.
