The Kannapolis Fire Department is offering non-certified CPR classes from March - November. Classes are two hours and free to the public.
Classes will be held: 3:30-5:30 p.m. on Saturdays – March 16, April 27, May 25, June 29, August 17, September 21, October 26, and November 9. (You only need to attend one of the two-hour classes).
Kannapolis Fire is committed to saving as many cardiac arrest victims as possible. You can help by learning CPR. Having people on scene who can begin CPR immediately before our trained firefighters arrive could mean the difference between life and death. Statistics show that CPR saves lives.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), cardiac arrest remains a public health crisis. There are more than 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) annually in the U.S., nearly 90% of them fatal. That means nearly 1,000 people each day die from cardiac arrests at their home, workplace or other locations.
