ACT to Save a Life is a new approach to first aid that teaches you 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

You can be a lifesaver!

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.

If you are called on to give CPR in an emergency, you will most likely to be trying to save the life of someone you love: a child, a spouse, a parent, or a friend. Are you ready to ACT?
