CPR & First Aid

According to the American Heart Association, nearly 70 percent of Americans wouldn’t know how to administer CPR in an emergency situation. It takes just 10 minutes to learn how to keep a cardiac arrest victim alive until paramedics arrive. 

HANDS-ONLY CPR

Hands-Only CPR focuses on the first few minutes following a cardiac arrest, since the lungs and blood contain only enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for that amount of time. You can learn this life-saving skill for FREE.

The Cosumnes Fire Department offers free, drop-in Hands-Only CPR classes. The sessions are open to the public, require no prior experience, and are held on the last Saturday of the month at rotating fire stations.

Station Showcases (fire station tours) will also occur during Hands-Only CPR classes, but advanced registration is required. Sign up for a Station Showcase.

Important Note:

Training in hands-only CPR does not equal certification in traditional CPR. Still, the American Heart Association recommends hands-only CPR in cases where a teen or adult suddenly collapses in an “out-of-hospital” setting (such as at home, at work, or in a park). According to the American Heart Association, CPR can more than double a person’s chances of survival.
