CPR Training

Building lifesaving skills for our community

About the Program

The Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department is in the process of developing a CPR training program for the community.

This program will be designed to provide participants with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to respond confidently during emergencies such as cardiac arrest, choking, and other life-threatening situations.

Training is expected to include:

  • Adult and child CPR techniques
  • Hands-only CPR
  • Use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
  • Basic response steps during medical emergencies

These courses will be geared toward community members of all experience levels.

Why It Matters

Immediate CPR can significantly improve survival rates during cardiac emergencies. Having trained individuals in the community helps ensure that lifesaving care can begin before emergency crews arrive.

Forest Grove is committed to expanding training opportunities that help keep the community prepared and protected.

Future Class Information

Details are still being finalized, but anticipated information will include:

  • Class location (expected to be held at the fire station)
  • Schedule (likely offered periodically or based on demand)
  • Registration process
  • Cost (if applicable)

Updates will be posted here as soon as classes become available.

Program Status

At this time, CPR training classes are not yet active, but are planned for the future.

Forest Grove is working to establish a schedule and program structure to bring this training to the community.
