Kirsty Finch signed up to a KFRS’ CPR course at Sevenoaks fire station to refresh her first aid skills and four weeks later she used them to save her husband’s life when he went into sudden cardiac arrest. Equipped with knowledge gained during the session with KFRS’ trainer James Lang, she was able to provide the crucial CPR until paramedics from South East Coast Ambulance Service arrived and took over. Kirsty is now urging people to sign up to a class, saying: “you never know when you might need these skills, it could make all the difference for someone you love.”  
 
James Lang, Immediate Emergency Care Trainer at KFRS, who hosts CPR training sessions across the county said: "It’s the most rewarding job in the world and as an instructor, I love people telling me they’ve benefited and saved somebody’s life after attending my classes. I urge people to attend one of our CPR and Defibrillator sessions to learn how to give someone a chance of survival.”  

To attend a session, you must book your space in advance. Courses are available at the following fire stations: 

Training sessions are regularly updated and will be available at other fire stations over the coming months.
