Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is
administered when someone’s breathing and/or pulse stops. When both stop, sudden
death has occurred. Sudden death has many possible causes – poisoning, drowning,
choking, suffocation, electrocution, smoke inhalation, etc. – but the most common
cause is heart attack. Everyone should know the symptoms of heart attack and the
actions for survival. You can help save heart attack and other sudden death victims if you
act quickly to start the chain of survival. This chain includes the steps to treat heart
attack and cardiac arrest and must be performed as soon as possible to help the victim
survive. The Waveland Fire Department is actively involved in the American Heart
Association Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Program. Each year we instruct a wide
variety of community members in CPR procedures. And who are the community members that
train with us? Regular citizens, nurses, students, healthcare workers, firefighters, day
care workers, teachers and bus drivers to name a few. On average, 200 people a year
receive CPR certification through us. Classes are open to anyone interested in learning
