Crawford County Emergency Management has recently partnered with Ready Responders 130 to offer FREE First Aid and CPR training to our community. These hands-on classes are open to all skill levels, and no prior medical experience is required.

Sessions will be held every third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM at the Law Enforcement Center (1119 1st Avenue North, Denison). Training is free to attend; if you would like an official certification card, the cost is $30 per person, payable at the class.

Everyone is welcome—from parents and caregivers to teachers, coaches, and community volunteers. Learning First Aid and CPR is one of the simplest ways to be ready to help when seconds count.
