Learn CPR

CPR classes for the remainder of 2023 are FULL.

 

Starting October 2023 we will be teaching AHA Heart Saver with AED and not BLS for the Health Care Provider.

 

                                                                  Individual and Group Classes Available

 

Monthly classes are the second Wednesday of the month from 5:30pm-9:30pm at our Headquarters station. If you are interested in a group class for six or more individuals we would be glad to assist. Please email us at cpr@rrfd.org or call 585-453-1212 to get started or click the link above.

If you have taken a class with us and would like to donate  to help offset the cost of the training, please click below.  Thank You.

 

Each year over 424,000 Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest.  Eighty Eight percent of these will occur at home.

For every minute Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is not performed, a victim’s chance of survival drops by 10%.  With early bystander CPR, we can more than double a victim’s chance for survival. Survival rates will increase to 86% if the following three steps can be completed within 4 minutes of a Cardiac Arrest:

First CALL 911

Early effective CPR

Use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator)

First responders need your help!

On average, less than 6% of people will survive a cardiac arrest. However, in Kings County (Greater Seattle), WA, the success rate is 62%.  The difference is Public Education.  That region has excellent community involvement when it comes to bystander CPR.  Many lives have been saved, thanks to CPR being initiated before the arrival of the first responders.  The Ridge Road Fire District wants to see survival rates surpass those cities by providing our community the opportunity to learn how to respond in the event that someone needs CPR / AED.

Back on June 24th the Ridge Road Fire Dist. responded to the reported smoke in the house. Yesterday ten year old Andrew Trammel received the “Fire and Life Safety Award” from the district for his actions in alerting his family of the fire and making sure their house was evacuated. Andrew was able to come up to the fire house to receive his award and have dessert with the firefighters. Congrats Andrew on a job well done.

This past week Splash Car Wash allowed us and several other town Fire Departments to utilize their existing building on Long Pond Rd that will be torn down tomorrow. We are extremely thankful for the opportunity to have hands-on training on these commercial structures before they are affected by fire. 4 Fire Departments and over 100 firefighters in the town spent the past 7 days working 8-10 hours a day in this building to sharpen their skills.
We are excited to see the new Splash Car Wash when they are finished with construction!

Great training opportunity

Chuckie Chino

I think you should charge 5000-10,000$ for false calls Seriously It will cut down on unnecessary calls

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
