Want to learn CPR? Franklin Fire Department offering free classes

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.

Unique, affordable housing opening soon for youth aging out of foster care

Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
