Join the Mountain View Fire Department for a class to learn the American Heart Association’s Family and Friends CPR Anytime Program.

A FREE class offered by the
Mountain View Fire Department to
teach residents CPR.

If a cardiac arrest happened to your loved one or a close friend, would you know how to perform life-saving CPR, which can double a victim’s chance of survival?

CPR Anytime is for people who don’t need a course completion card to satisfy a work or volunteer requirement and who most likely would never attend a traditional CPR course.

Gain the skills and knowledge to save a life. 
It only takes 22 minutes to learn these lifesaving skills.

Each year, more than 335,000 people across the country die from coronary heart disease before reaching a hospital or in an emergency room. Most of those deaths result from sudden cardiac arrest. When the arrest occurs outside a hospital setting, most victims die because CPR and defibrillation were not provided soon enough.  Although the American Heart Association annually trains more than nine million people, the vast majority of people in the U.S. do not know CPR. If more people performed effective CPR immediately after someone suffers cardiac arrest, thousands more lives could be saved. Effective CPR can help make the difference between life and death, buying valuable time and increasing the likelihood that the victim can successfully be defibrillated by an electric shock.
