CPR Training

Friends and Family CPR

The City of Paragould Fire Department offers a free class on compression's only CPR.  This class is taught 4 (four) times a year at Station 1.  Our goal is to train and prepare members of the community with basic life saving techniques.  

Friends & Family CPR is for people who want to learn CPR but DO NOT need a CPR course completion card to meet a job requirement. This course is ideal for community groups, new parents, grandparents, babysitters, and others interested in learning how to save a life. 

In a cardiac arrest, every second counts.  A cardiac arrest can happen anywhere.  Every minute CPR is delayed a victim's survival rate decreases by 10%. By learning and using the skills in this course the chance of survival can double or even triple.

The course offers the following instruction:

• Adult Hands-Only CPR and AED
• Adult CPR with Breaths (optional)
• Child CPR and AED (optional)
• Adult, Child, and Infant Choking (optional)
• Video demonstrating procedures
• Hands-on-Practice with mannequins  

To schedule our free Friends & Family CPR class please contact Captain Brian Brown at 870-239-7525 to be added to the schedule.

• *The Friends & Family CPR course does not offer CPR certification or completion card.
