Learn How To Perform CPR Anytime

This week, the New York City Fire Department will be observing American Heart Association's CPR Week, a week dedicated to informing members of the public about the importance of learning this life-saving skill. Every year, countless people's lives are saved by other average citizens who have taken the time to learn this vital technique. FDNY EMT Pablo Vasquez stopped by to teach us CPR.

CPR Anytime is a tool that can help increase survival rates in communities across the country. People who receive the CPR Anytime kits are able to share lifesaving skills with their loved ones by using the kit to train their entire family. Using a multiplier effect, studies have shown that for every single CPR Anytime kit used for training, an average of 2.5 people learn how to perform CPR.

The CPR Anytime Kit is available at www.firezonestore.org/cpranpelepr.html. For more information or to schedule an EMS Training Class, call 311. For details on The American Heart Association's 1,000,000 Challenge log onto www.cprweek.org.
