Wanna Learn CPR? Got 10 Minutes? Firefighters in Weho Are Standing By

CPR will be taught in more than 90 locations through Los Angeles County today, including West Hollywood.

Known as "Sidewalk CPR," the idea is that CPR can be taught in 10 minutes. With this knowledge applied at the scene, a cardiac arrest victim can be kept alive until paramedics arrive.

The program is offered by the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency.

The classes are taught by county firefighters and other medical professionals.

Personnel will be on hand from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at The Sunset, 8560 – 8590 Sunset Blvd. (the retail plaza near Equinox Gym).
