🚑❤️ National CPR & AED Awareness Week ❤️🚑
This week, we recognize the importance of learning CPR and how to use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator). In an emergency, immediate action can mean the difference between life and death.
Did you know? ✅ Nearly 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home. ✅ Immediate CPR can double or even triple a person's chance of survival. ✅ AEDs are designed for anyone to use and provide step-by-step instructions.
At Spencer-Roane County Volunteer Fire Department, we encourage everyone to take the time to learn these lifesaving skills. You never know when a family member, friend, coworker, or neighbor may need your help.
Take a CPR class. Learn where AEDs are located in your community. Be prepared to make a difference when every second counts.
Together, we can build a safer and more prepared community.
