Throwback to last year’s Ho! Ho! Ho! with the Po-Po with the Polk County Sheriff's Office at the PCSO Northeast District Command in Davenport.

FACTS - First Aid & CPR Training Services set up a hands on holiday safety station with CPR practice, AED demos and a scooter giveaway for one very excited family. It was great seeing scouts, homeschoolers, youth groups and families learning how to help while help is on the way.

We will be back again this year on Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the PCSO Northeast District Command, 1100 Dunson Road, Davenport.

Stop by the FACTS table to
• Try hands only CPR
• See how an AED works
• Learn simple ways to stop life threatening bleeding

Families who participate at the FACTS table will have a chance to compete for a gift card provided by FACTS. Details will be available at the event.

It was an honor to join Oscar J. Pope Elementary School for the Great American Teach-In during their jobs and career week.

I shared my story of growing up right up the road in Crystal Grove, how I found my path from a local kid to a Fire Captain/Paramedic, and how those experiences led me to build FACTS – First Aid & CPR Training Services.

Thank you for inviting me to speak with your students and giving me the chance to encourage them to explore their interests and think about what they want to become.

The Reason FACTS Exists

By Glen Z. Karnes II
In recognition of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, October 2025

On October 20, 2005, my dad, Glen Z. Karnes, celebrated his 52nd birthday by playing 18 holes of golf before coming home for birthday dinner with all of us.

He was competitive, full of energy, and never missed a game with his friends. We laughed, shared stories, and made plans to meet a little later to play basketball, something he still did six days a week.

Not long after, the house phone rang. I answered, and it was Mike, one of my dad’s close friends from the court. He told my mom that my dad had gone down and that they were doing CPR. I can still remember her clarifying his words, her voice sharp with shock as she said, “My husband?”

One moment we were celebrating another year of his life, and the next I was racing to the gym, praying it wasn’t as serious as it sounded.

When I arrived, paramedics were already on scene. I helped work my dad in the back of the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Despite every effort, we couldn’t bring him back.

Years later, Mike, the same friend who made that call, also passed away from sudden cardiac arrest.

Two lives. Two families. One powerful reminder that sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time.

That night changed my life. It is the reason I have dedicated my career to emergency response, public education, and now, through FACTS – First Aid & CPR Training Services, to preparing others for those moments when seconds matter most.

Today would have been my dad’s 72nd birthday, and it also marks 20 years since he passed away. His birthday will always serve as my reminder of my “why.”

Learn the skills. Train. Be ready.

AEDs are designed for anyone to use and that includes you.

When someone collapses and isn’t breathing normally every second matters.
Each minute without defibrillation can reduce survival by about 10 percent.

AEDs walk you through the process: turn it on, follow the prompts and apply pads when told.
They are simple, safe and effective but confidence comes from practice.

At FACTS - First Aid and CPR Training Services we help you bridge the gap between uncertainty and action.
Our CPR and AED courses are mobile, bilingual and built for real-world readiness.

This week is Emergency Nurses Week (October 5–11, 2025), a time to honor and thank the incredible ER nurses who care for others during some of life’s most difficult moments.

Their compassion, resilience, and steady presence make an impact far beyond what most of us will ever see.

If you know a nurse, take a moment to say thank you this week and throughout the year. They carry heavy responsibilities and give so much of themselves to others.

Let’s show them the appreciation they have earned.

Yesterday, I had the honor of attending the Grand Opening of the Winter Haven Center for Women & Children, a meaningful new addition to our community led by Talbot House Ministries.

Representing FACTS - First Aid and CPR Training Services, I was proud to stand among organizations and individuals dedicated to building real solutions for those in need.

This new facility offers essential services like:
- Resume & Job Readiness Programs
- Mental Health & Wellness Support
- Life Skills & Educational Programs
- 24/7 Emergency & Transitional Housing

The work being done here is impactful and necessary—and a reflection of what’s possible when a community comes together with purpose.

As a retired firefighter/paramedic and small business owner, I’m proud to support efforts that prioritize compassion, preparation, and action.

Congratulations to everyone who brought this vision to life. Talbot House continues to raise the standard for service in Central Florida.
