The BLS for Healthcare Providers course is designed for healthcare professionals and other personnel who need to know how to perform CPR and other basic cardiovascular life support skills in a wide variety of in-facility and prehospital settings. The American Heart Association’s BLS course trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations and provide early use of an AED. This course, like Heartsaver CPR AED, reflects science and education from the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).

If they use the money for equipment or other needs for the firehouse then I would be willing to pay for this service.
That is quite expensive. I can get the same training for
$25.00.
Does anyone else find it unconscionable to CHARGE for classes that could save lives? My local fire department chief teaching first aid plus supplies resuscitators in each class. They will also replace that resuscitator on an annual basis if it becomes damaged. This seems to me to be more important in the rural areas where the response time is not what larger municipalities have.
Just something to think about…. your tax dollars at work or maybe Not
