Welcome to the Caledonia Fire Department Public CPR program. It is our goal to give you the necessary knowledge and skills to perform CPR, which is the first step in the American Heart Association’s Chain of Life.

We offer two types of classes on a rotating basis:
1. Heartsaver:  Designed for the layperson desiring to obtain basic CPR.  The class covers information for adult, pediatric, and infant CPR and includes rescue breathing, obstructed airway, and CPR.  An introduction to automated external defibrillator (AED) is also included.  This class does not provide complete AED training. Participants who complete the class receive a participation card from American Heart Association.

2. Healthcare Provider:  Designed for the healthcare professional, such as nurses, physicians, EMTs, and Paramedics. The class covers information for adult, pediatric, and infant CPR and includes rescue breathing, obstructed airway, and CPR.  Additional content in this class involves instruction on 2 person CPR, as well as use of advanced airway management equipment such as pocket mask, and bag-valve mask. An introduction to automated external defibrillator (AED) is also included.  This class does not provide complete AED training. Participants who complete the class receive a participation card from American Heart Association.
