Cy-Fair Fire Department to Host Life-Saving CPR Classes This Month
Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere and at any time. According to the American Heart Association, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital each year, with most out of hospital cardiac arrests occurring in homes or residences. If performed immediately, CPR can double or triple the chance of survival from an out of hospital cardiac arrest.

While You're Here...
On November 8, the Cy-Fair Fire Department will host a blood drive at their Administration Building in honor of Grayson Smith, the 10 year-old son of a CFFD member.
Grayson is preparing for open-heart surgery after undergoing several major procedures due to a congenital heart defect. During this upcoming procedure, he will be on the heart-lung by-pass machine for several hours, and he may need additional blood as part of his medical treatment at Texas Children's Hospital.
