About this Event

When a medical emergency strikes, the first few minutes matter most and you don't need to be a medical professional to help. Join us for a free, hands-on community lifesaving class taught by certified EMTs from the San Rafael Fire Department.

In just 90 minutes, you'll learn three critical skills:

Hands-Only CPR & AED Training — Learn how to perform effective chest compressions to keep blood flowing until paramedics arrive, with no mouth-to-mouth required. Participants will also learn how to recognize cardiac arrest, safely use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and work confidently until emergency responders arrive.

Stop the Bleed — Discover how to control life-threatening bleeding using direct pressure and tourniquets, techniques that can save a life in minutes.

Narcan (Naloxone) Training — Learn how to recognize an opioid overdose and administer Narcan, a safe and easy-to-use Medic*tion that can reverse an overdose on the spot.

This class is open to everyone, no experience or medical background needed. Whether you're a parent, teacher, neighbor, or coworker, these skills could help you save someone you love.
