If you are reading this, you care about life. It’s our most thing valuable thing as humans. We spend our days treasuring it and mourn when anyone loses it. Here in Murfreesboro, SureFire CPR makes life restoration their primary goal.

Do me a favor; get out your phone. Save SureFire CPR in your contacts, 615-785-7158. Now pray you'll never need this in an emergency. I was privileged to be able to take a CPR certification class with the company founder Karl Daigle. Karl lives in life saving. When he's not teaching people how to save a life, he's saving lives as a professional firefighter.

Myself and my friend Mike Myers (yeah really, that's his name) took the American Heart Association CPR/AED course at the office. Not only was Karl exactly on time (Just like Porridge, not too late, not too early) But he was fully prepared and we started 5 minutes after his arrival.

The video-led course was pretty fundamental. Karl is the one who made the difference. Mike said it best, "He did a great job. He explained clearly, and made me feel comfortable and eager to learn." I couldn't agree more. I also received CPR certification cards less than a week after the class.

So what's my overall advice to Sure Fire CPR training? TAKE THIS COURSE. It takes on hour, and you do not want to be the person who could have prevented death.

Murfreesboro, TN - Think about something for just a second. Answer these questions to yourself: Where are you right now? How many people are around you? Men, women and children? What would happen in the case of an emergency? If you do not have the training to operate a defibrillator or know how to properly perform CPR, you can’t assume that someone else does. It may be you on the ground not breathing. It may be your child.

Meet Sure Fire CPR & First Aid. I met with owner Karl Daigle and learned just how important saving a life can be and how ANYONE can be that angel. Karl spent four years in the Navy and now is a Murfreesboro firefighter. I asked him why he would want to start a CPR training company in Murfreesboro. His answer stunned me, “My daughter has had three heart surgeries. I have found that very few school employees were prepared for a first aid emergency situation. And as far as Murfreesboro…this is where I live. This is where I serve the community through the fire department.”

Around Murfreesboro, there are very few resources to get life emergency training. Add that you never know what tragedy might happen or where you might be and you have a formula that makes it difficult to ignore this. Right now, someone near you could collapse and need CPR or an AED.

CPR (or cardiopulmonary resuscitation ) according to Princeton’s Wordnet is an emergency procedure consisting of external cardiac massage and artificial respiration. An AED, defined by the same source, is an electronic device that administers and electric shock of preset voltage to the heart through the chest wall in order to restore a normal heartbeat.

The American Heart Association recommends that one person in every household be CPR certified. Insurance companies offer discounts of premiums for having AED’s stocked in the office. Emergency situations have to be proactively treated. If you are reactive, you risk someone’s death. All of these things, AED’s, training, licenses and paperwork, are taken care of by Sure Fire CPR & First Aid. It’s one-stop shopping for saving lives. Avoid the costs of lost labor, replacement and bad press by preparing for an emergency with the hopes it never happens. Group and corporate discounts are offered.
