Control the Bleed Training

The FDNY is proud to offer Control the Bleed training through its community CPR program to all members of the NYC community. In an emergency, a bystander’s actions can mean the difference between life and death.  This training will empower everyday citizens with the knowledge and skills to respond confidently and effectively in the event of life-threatening bleeding. These classes are offered throughout NYC at no cost, with each session being taught exclusively by a member of FDNY EMS. This class will focus on recognizing life-threatening bleeding and the skills associated, such as direct pressure, pressure bandages and applying a tourniquet.

Each class size ranges from 15- 50 people and takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. Larger groups can be accommodated by adding additional classes, which would occur consecutively.
