Hoffman Estates, IL – Residents looking to gain lifesaving skills can take part in a hands-on CPR and AED training course offered by the Hoffman Estates Fire Department this week.
According to the Village of Hoffman Estates Government, the Heartsaver CPR/AED course will be held Wednesday, Jan. 14, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Hoffman Estates Fire Station #24, located at 5775 Beacon Pointe Drive in Cook County, northwest of Chicago.
The class is designed for individuals with little to no medical training who want to learn how to respond during emergencies. Participants will be taught how to recognize cardiac arrest, properly call 9-1-1, perform CPR, use an automated external defibrillator (AED), and provide relief for choking victims.
Fire officials say the course focuses on real-world scenarios and practical instruction, giving attendees the confidence to act quickly in emergency situations at home, work, or in public settings.
The cost to attend is $55 per person, and pre-registration is required due to limited class size. The registration deadline is Tuesday, Jan. 7.
Those interested can register by calling the Hoffman Estates Fire Department Administration Office at 847-843-4825. Additional information about the program is available online at hoffmanestates.org/CPR.
Community CPR training is often credited with improving survival rates during cardiac emergencies, especially before first responders arrive. Fire officials encourage residents to take advantage of the opportunity to learn skills that could help save a life.
