The Johnson City Fire Department (JCFD) is excited to announce that they will offer free, hands-on CPR training sessions starting this June. This initiative is part of a new program aimed at equipping the community with essential knowledge of hands-only CPR, and it’s open to absolutely everyone!
Quarterly Training Sessions at the JCFD Training Facility
The hands-on CPR training sessions will be held quarterly at the JCFD Training Facility, which is conveniently located at 2832 W. Walnut Street. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals of all ages to come together, learn, and practice CPR in a safe and friendly environment. While the initial sessions will be scheduled quarterly, the department is eager to meet community demands, so more sessions could be lined up depending on how excited people are to participate!
How to Register and What to Expect
Before diving into the training, all participants will need to sign a waiver. But don’t worry, it’s just a formality to ensure everyone understands the basics before starting. You’ll be in good hands — literally!
Practice Makes Perfect with Advanced Training Manikins
During the training sessions, participants will get hands-on practice using Brayden manikins, which are designed to provide realistic experiences while learning CPR techniques. This is where the fun and learning happen! You’ll have the chance to practice your skills and build confidence in performing CPR, which can make all the difference in an emergency.

In fact, the first community session already saw around 70 employees from the Johnson City Water and Sewer Services Department taking part, highlighting the eagerness within the community to learn these vital skills.
