After a recent "Heart Saver Award" presented to a citizen for saving a life with CPR, one councilmember confessed that he didn't know how to perform CPR.

OPFD Training Officer Buck Heath, along with help from firefighters and paramedics, will fix that with a special CPR class for Overland Park Council members. Buck uses some very entertaining teaching methods that help students remember key elements of this life saving training.

As American Heart Month comes to a close, we would love for members of the media to join us and tell this story to the public. Hopefully we can encourage others to get CPR training in the process.

Who: Members of the Overland Park City Council
What: A special CPR Training session
Where: Overland Park City Hall 8500 Santa Fe Dr.
When: Monday, March 1st at 6:30 p.m.
Why: To teach council members, their family and friends CPR and encourage others to get training...CPR saves lives!
