About the Program
The Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department provides Stop the Bleed training to equip community members with the skills needed to respond during a bleeding emergency.
These courses are taught by members of the department and focus on simple, effective techniques that can help save a life in the critical moments before emergency responders arrive.
Participants will learn how to:
- Recognize life-threatening bleeding
- Apply direct pressure to a wound
- Use a tourniquet
- Pack a wound to control bleeding
This hands-on training is designed for anyone in the community — no prior medical experience is required.
Why It Matters
Severe bleeding can become life-threatening in just a few minutes. Having the knowledge and confidence to act can make a critical difference.
Through this program, Forest Grove is committed to helping build a safer, more prepared community.
