State Senator Julie Morrison is teaming up with the Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Department to teach residents of all ages how they can help their friends, family, neighbors and others with emergency medical treatment before the professional paramedics arrive.
“Being equipped with basic skills to help during a medical emergency can save a life" said Morrison (D-Lake Forest). "In the event that you should be called upon to provide assistance to someone in distress, this event is the perfect opportunity to introduce you to important life saving techniques."
The event will be held:
- Saturday, November 1 from 10 am to 2 pm
- Deerfield Bannockburn Fire Department located at 500 Waukegan Rd. in Deerfield
- Free and open to the public
- People of all ages are encouraged to attend
The fire department will host a number of informational stations including hands-only CPR, "Stop the Bleed", calling 911 and how to help someone who is choking.
Residents with questions can call Morrison’s office at 847-945-5200.
