Irving Fire Offers Hands-On CPR Training

The Irving Fire Department wants everyone to be aware of the importance of knowing how to perform Hands-Only CPR. According to the American Heart Association, about 70 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in homes. Hands-Only CPR, performed by a bystander on teens and adults, has been shown to be as effective as conventional CPR for cardiac arrests that occur at home, work or in public.

The Irving Fire Department provides Hands-Only CPR demonstrations to organizations in the city. To schedule a demonstration for your organization, fill out a Group Presentation Request Form and select Hands-Only CPR under requested topic.
