Training residents in hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is one of the best ways North Metro Fire Rescue District can improve the survival rate of cardiac arrest patients. That’s why the District offers free Family and Friends® CPR classes each year. In 2016, the District trained nearly 200 residents in CPR over the course of two weekends. Kicking off 2017, North Metro Fire held two classes on March 5 and trained 70 people of all ages.
