What Our CPR Training & First Aid Classes Teach
Community Training:
The Kearney Fire & Rescue Protection District is committed to having a community that is trained in CPR/AED/First Aid and equipped to handle a sudden cardiac arrest situation, which can be the difference between surviving or not. Our Community Training program focuses on ways to grow the readiness in our community to handle a cardiac arrest episode and maybe save the life of someone that you know.
