Learn CPR. Get the PulsePoint App. Save a Life.

Boca Raton Fire Rescue Services recently launched a lifesaving app called PulsePoint. The smart-phone app notifies CPR-trained citizens who are near the incident at the same time 911 dispatch alerts first responders. The hope is that app users can assist until professional help arrives on scene, as every moment counts. To learn more, or if you would like to get CPR-certified, visit the Fire Rescue Services webpage, or view the Press Release.

Don't forget to wear red this Friday, February 1, 2019 in support of National Wear Red Day -- the American Heart Association's national movement to end heart disease and stroke in women. To learn more visit GoRedForWomen.org.
