🚨 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED?
Most people will witness a cardiac emergency in their lifetime. Most won’t know what to do.

That changes on March 21, 2026.

Join us for low-cost, open to the public, StopTheBleed and CPR classes. It could be the most important thing you ever do — for a stranger, a coworker, a parent, a child.

💡 You don’t need to be a nurse or an EMT, you just need to be prepared.

Tag someone who should know this. You might just tag their lifesaver. 🫀

RSVP for one class, or both, at www.rescuehose.com/CPR

Just in case...

With cold temperatures already here and Fern promising to coat our area in snow and ice later tonight, we partnered with our municipal Emergency Managers to offer a place to shelter for those who may need it. If you lose power or heat, the fire station- 842 South Washington Street- will be available to get warm, charge your devices and dodge the weather beginning at 0600 hours Sunday, 01/25/26. While uncertain how long the storm or this service may last, there is no charge and- to quote a well-known chain- "we'll leave the light on for you".
