Get your CPR certifications.

Please, everyone who reads this, take the time today to find a CPR/First Aid course, sign up, and take it, get certified.

We had a situation at school pickup yesterday where a little girl's life was saved because those around her knew CPR/First Aid and were able to deal with her choking and keep her alive until the paramedics could arrive. It was a terrifying 10 minutes, but it could have been so so so much worse.

I haven't done my certification in a few years (ok, maybe a lot of years), but I am now signed up to take the next available course to get recertified. For those in Summit County, PCFD offers a course the first Tuesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. for $30.

Find a course near you and take it. Be part of the solution!
