Seattle Fire Department

In honor of National CPR and AED Awareness Week (June1-7), Seattle Fire Department’s Medic 2 Bystander CPR Training Program is hosting four Community CPR classes across the city.

Next week, join us to learn potentially life-saving skills. CPR can double or even triple someone’s chance of survival in the event of a cardiac emergency.

CPR week community classes:
🫀 Seattle Fire Department headquarters: Thursday, June 4, 5:30-8 p.m.
🫀 Delridge Community Center: Saturday, June 6, 10-12:30 p.m.
🫀 Ballard Community Center: Saturday, June 6, 3:15-5:45 p.m.
🫀 Seattle Fire Department headquarters: Sunday, June 7, 9-11:30 a.m.

Medic 2 CPR classes teach community members how to recognize cardiac arrest, call 911, perform high-quality CPR, use an AED and perform choking intervention techniques.

To register for a community CPR class, or schedule a class for your business, group or organization in Seattle, visit Seattle.gov/medic2.

Please join us at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow, May 28, at the Broadview Library Branch for a wonderful story time event! Your local firefighters will lead this special story time for you and your friends.

This will be fun-filled morning of storytelling and learning about fire safety. Plus, you will get a chance to meet your neighborhood firefighters and see a fire engine up close (if weather permits)! Families of all ages are welcome, though this early learning program is intended for preschool ages and older (4+), their caregivers and families.

If you aren't able to catch this one, our Firefighter Story Times will continue again July through October. Learn more and find the full calendar here https://www.spl.org/programs-and-services/fun-and-games/story-time/story-time-calendar

Have you thought about a career in the fire service but don’t know how the hiring process works? Please join us on Saturday, May 30 at the King County Diversity and Recruitment Workshop. You will learn about the testing process and requirements to be a firefighter as well as have a chance to connect with mentors from the profession.

This workshop is open to EVERYONE at least 16 years of age. We encourage women, people of color, LGBTQIA+, bilingual adults or those with no prior fire service experience to attend.
