NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Franklin Fire Department is offering free CPR classes every Saturday in February in honor of American Heart Month.
The classes are from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Franklin City Hall Training Room, and participants will learn adult, child and infant CPR, how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) and how to relieve choking.
Franklin firefighters who are paramedics and American Heart Association CPR instructors are teaching the classes.
They are recommended for anyone who is 12 years and older — it is not for certification, just for anyone wanting to learn CPR skills.
Registration is available online.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
