๐โค๏ธ National CPR & AED Awareness Week
June 1โ7, 2026
This yearโs theme is โIt Starts With You.โ
When a cardiac emergency happens, every second matters. The actions taken in the first few minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Thatโs why knowing how to perform CPR and use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is so important.
Did you know?
โ๏ธ Immediate CPR can double or even triple a personโs chance of survival.
โ๏ธ Most cardiac arrests happen outside of a hospital, often at home.
โ๏ธ Anyone can learn CPR and become someoneโs lifesaver.
At Three Star Volunteer Fire Department, we believe preparedness starts with our community. Whether youโre a parent, teacher, coach, student, or neighbor, learning these lifesaving skills empowers you to act when it matters most.
This week, take a few minutes to learn about CPR, locate AEDs in your workplace or community, and encourage others to do the same.
Because when an emergency happens, it starts with you.
