CPR saves lives. June 1–7 is National CPR & AED Awareness Week. If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest. Be ready. Be confident. You can save a life. #CPRWeek #BCFD #SaveALife

@MayorBMScott 4. Modernizing Firehouses & Equipment. Aging infrastructure slows down emergency response and puts responders at risk. ✅ Renovated fire stations.✅ New SCBA equipment (ARPA-funded).✅ Eco-friendly, reliable vehicles.These investments protect Baltimore-and those who protect us.
