The Roswell Fire Department will host free community CPR classes next month at Fire Station 7.

The classes will be held at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. Fire Station 7 is located at 8025 Holcomb Bridge Road.

Each class is estimated to run 90 minutes to 2 hours and is limited to 16 participants.

The Fire Department will use the American Heart Association’s Family & Friends CPR Course, which is for people who want to learn CPR but do not need a course completion card in CPR for their job. It’s ideal for schools and students, new parents, grandparents, babysitters and others interested in learning how to save a life.

The Family & Friends CPR Course teaches the lifesaving skills of adult Hands-Only™ CPR, child CPR with breaths, adult and child AED use, infant CPR and relief of choking in an adult, child or infant.

Skills are taught in a dynamic group environment by using the AHA’s research-proven practice-while-watching technique, which provides students with the most hands-on CPR practice time possible.

To more information or to register for a class, email Chris Cooper at ccooper@roswellgov.com.
