First responders are teaming up with the Fort Worth libraries to teach life-saving skills at no cost to the public.
From Sept. 29 to Oct. 4, seven locations of the Fort Worth Public Library will host hands-on CPR and AED training taught by the Fort Worth Fire Department.
“We always want our residents to call 9-1-1 in a medical emergency, but we also want teens and adults in Fort Worth to feel confident in how to use life-saving tools like AEDs and know how to perform CPR until our firefighters, paramedics or EMTs can arrive,” said Craig Trojacek, Fort Worth Fire Department public information officer.
The classes are designed for teens and adults and are available on a first-come-first-served basis at no cost to participants. Instruction is focused on hands-on CPR and is not a certification course. Spanish interpreters will be present to assist if needed.
