CPR

Surrey Fire Fighters CPR & First Aid Program   

WHAT IS CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, or CPR, is an emergency method of maintaining breathing and circulation when a patients heart has stopped. It involves pressing on a patients chest, to circulate blood, and forcing air into his or her lungs to provide the body with oxygen.

WHO PROVIDES THE TRAINING?

All courses are taught by professional fire fighters of the Surrey Fire Department. All instructors are certified Red Cross Instructors. This is a community based program that teaches life savings skills to all ages. Since 1981 we have taught over 40 000 Surrey citizens, some of who have used their skills to save another person’s life. In less than 4 hours our students learn lifesaving techniques, accident prevention as well as heart attack recognition and prevention.

    DID YOU KNOW THAT:

    MOST deaths from cardiac arrest occur outside of the hospital within 2 hours after the onset of symptoms.

    6 of the heart attack risk factors can be controlled or eliminated.

    IF a bystander at the scene of a cardiac arrest starts CPR, the chances of a successful recovery are more than doubled.

    YOU can be that person on the scene who help SAVE A LIFE.

    HOW? By learning CPR in one of the many courses taught by the
    Surrey Fire Fighters CPR First Aid Program.
