NAFD Wants to Teach You CPR

And they're bringing the training to the sidewalks.

In partnership with the American Heart Association, the North Andover Fire Department is hosting sidewalk CPR certifications around town.

They held one such event on Saturday, as part of the Fire Department Open House.

The department wants as many people in the community as possible to learn CPR. According to the American Heart Association, four out of five cardiac arrests occur at home, and immediate CPR greatly increases chance of survival.

Contact the North Andover Fire Department to learn more about CPR and CPR certification.
