February is American Heart Disease Awareness Month. In celebration, let's review cardio pulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. When was the last time you took a CPR class? A year ago? 5? 10? Do you remember all the things you needed to do? All the compressions-to-rescue-breath numbers? No? You'll be happy to know, there's a new method. This ain't your Dad's CPR. It's called Hands Only CPR and it's effective and easy to learn. So easy that MySafe:LA's two resident EMTs, Todd Leitz and Cameron Barrett, are going to teach you right in this podcast.Support the show (https://www.mysafela.org/donate/)

Did you know that you don't have to be hard of hearing to NOT hear your smoke alarm go off in the middle of the night? Education Director Cameron Barrett discusses smoke alarms with Nancy Trench, the Assistant Director of Fire Protection Publications at Oklahoma State University. Trench is a smoke alarm expert and speaks about the latest research into smoke alarm awareness and usage. Who's most likely to die in a fire because smoke alarms were not present or were disabled? Do children wake to an alarm with a warning beep or an adult's voice? If you have mobility issues, is it time to retrofit your home with sprinklers? These questions and more get answered in this fire and life safety podcast.Support the show (https://www.mysafela.org/donate/)
