🚨 Local Hero Alert! 🚨

We just came across a powerful story on the news today — a local man collapsed suddenly, and thanks to the quick action of bystanders who knew CPR, his life was saved. 💓

It’s moments like these that remind us how important it is to be prepared. Emergencies don’t wait for the “right time” — and you never know when you might be the person someone is counting on.

👏 Huge praise to those who stepped up, stayed calm, and used their training when it mattered most. This story could have had a very different ending without them.

If you haven’t learned CPR yet, don’t put it off. It’s quick to learn, easy to remember, and it truly saves lives. Prepare now, so you’re ready when it counts.

A Roanoke Public Safety Officer is alive thanks to the quick action of his classmates and instructors.
