CPR for citizens

On Saturday, May 20, the Fire Rescue Department will hold a CPR for Citizens Program that teaches citizens basic life support for emergencies. Class is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Barnett Park Recreation Center, 4801 West Colonial Dr., Orlando. The program is offered in English and Spanish and will include Adult and Pediatric CPR. Note *Pre-registration is required for attendance.

Fire Rescue firefighters and paramedics will teach the American Heart Association curriculum called, “CPR for Friends and Family.” The CPR for Citizens program provides CPR instruction to residents who wish to know what to do in an emergency. Statistics prove that the ability to successfully revive patients in cardiac arrest depends heavily on whether or not the patient has received CPR prior to the arrival of emergency responders. The program is not designed to meet requirements for employment; the course has no test and there is no course completion card.

The Fire Rescue Department holds CPR for Citizens classes at regular intervals throughout Orange County. Citizens interested in attending the next CPR for Citizens class can visit www.ocfrd.com. For more information call Luis Garcia-Mercado, Life Safety Education Bureau at 407-836-9886.

Hurricane Tax Exemption

This is the time to review your emergency plans and gather your supplies. 2006 is the first year there will be a sales tax exemption for certain items. It might be a good idea to take advantage of this exemption early. Many stores are fully stocked right now, but as the season goes on, the shelves might not be as well stocked.

Visit the Florida Department of Revenue website for information on items that qualify for this sales tax exemption.
