Due to popular demand, the Los Angeles County Fire Department has announced a new community emergency response class that is free and open to all LA County residents 18 or older:
The County of Los Angeles Fire Department is proud to present this training to the public.
Following a major disaster, police, fire and medical professionals may not be able to fully meet the
demand. People will have to rely on each other to meet the immediate life saving and life sustaining
needs, particularly in isolated neighborhoods that may be cut off from the main roads for a period of
time.
The County of Los Angeles Fire Department's Community Emergency Response Team
(C.E.R.T.) program was developed to provide basic training in safety and life saving skills for the
public.
