Professional firefighters provided training to 15 leaders and young adults of Troop 431.
Students in the class learned how to help a victim of sudden cardiac arrest and practiced CPR techniques as well as how to use an automatic external defibrillator — an AED. The class was paid for by a donation from the Larry Reilly Law Firm as well as Ridgefield Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 1739.
The Ridgefield Fire Department is a designated American Heart Association training site for CPR and advanced resuscitation for paramedics, doctors and nurses.
