The Walla Walla Fire Department is offering ACT training to residents, free of charge. (Course curriculum follows industry standards but is not a certification class.)

Interested residents may visit wallawallawa.gov/ACT to register for this session.

No matter how quickly first responders arrive, bystanders will always be first on the scene. Those nearest to someone with life-threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care.

ACT to Save a Life is a new approach to first aid that teaches three vital skills you can use to save a life in the crucial few minutes before firefighters arrive:

• Antidote for suspected opiate overdose
• CPR for sudden cardiac arrest
• Tourniquet for bleeding control

This training session is limited to 15 participants. Once it's full, any additional registrants will be placed on a waiting list.
