Stop the Bleed
Stop the BleedBleeding is one of the most common injuries among survivors of an emergency, and rapid loss of blood can result in death within five minutes. Those nearest someone with life threatening injuries that provide first aid type care can significantly increase a person’s chance of survival. That is why the City of Pembroke Pines joined the Stop the Bleed Campaign, a national awareness campaign and call to action by the Florida Department of Health aimed at decreasing preventable deaths through bleeding control. Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue delivers “Stop the Bleed” training with every CPR class we provide free of charge. The bleeding control techniques learned in this class can make the difference between life and death.  For more information on how to register for a CPR Training Class with Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue please visit the following link: www.ppines.com/cprclasses
