Members of the Evansville Fire Department’s Training Division will go through a CPR Instructor’s course sponsored and hosted by American Medical Response (AMR). EFD Fire Instructors will learn the updated standards that have been established by the American Heart Association.
This instructor course will create at least five new CPR instructors to add to those the Fire Department already has in place. CPR standards have typically changed every four to five years. The latest standard changes have been associated with higher survival rates for victims of sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
EFD Instructors will then teach the updated standards to the 268 other members of the department as part of their annual recertification.
Training will be Friday March 15th at AMR’s facility, 950 E. Virginia Street in Evansville. A special time has been scheduled for Media for your convenience and continuity of the training.
The scheduled Media time is 8:00–8:30 am, at AMR, 950 E. Virginia St.
