🚨 YOUR TWO HANDS COULD SAVE A LIFE 🚨

Cardiac arrests don’t wait on an ambulance. They happen at ballgames, in restaurants, at church, at work, and around the kitchen table. The person standing closest when it happens might be YOU.

In 3 weeks, Hackneyville Volunteer Fire Department will be hosting a CPR class, and they’re looking to fill seats with people who want to make a difference before first responders ever arrive.

🫀 Learn real lifesaving skills
🫀 Get hands-on training
🫀 Build confidence in an emergency
🫀 Open to the public

You don’t have to be a firefighter, nurse, or medic to save someone’s life. Ordinary people perform CPR every single day — and because of it, people get to go home to their families.

Come learn the skills. Hopefully you never need them… but if you do, you’ll be glad you have them.

Message them for details or to reserve your spot!
