Learn CPR with SORS

As a part of our mission to educate the public and with the generous support of a grant from Strowd Roses Inc, South Orange Rescue Squad offers free CPR and AED (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillator) classes to individuals and groups within Orange County, North Carolina.

Our volunteer American Heart Association Instructors teach Basic Life Support for the Health Care Provider, Heartsaver classes for the public and for schools, and CPR for Family and Friends. We offer a limited number of American Heart Association First Aid classes as requested.

You can check out our upcoming CPR classes by looking at our CPR Calendar. We offer open classes for the community at our station in Carrboro, NC (located at 202 Roberson Street). Additionally, we offer classes for groups either at our station, or other locations in the area. There is often space in group classes for individuals to participate, and we may be able to add you to a group class if that would better suit your needs. All of the scheduled classes are listed on the CPR Calendar. Please contact us regarding your availability, and to register for any of the classes.

Fundraising efforts continue this month

We are “always prepared to serve.”  As you make decisions about charitable gifts this year, please consider a gift to South Orange Rescue so we can continue to provide services to our entire community.

South Orange Rescue Squad received a new, five-year franchise this past spring from the Orange County Commissioners to provide emergency and technical rescue services to our citizens.  We were the first agency to receive this approval under the new statutes and we received unanimous support.  We are proud of this vote of confidence and work hard every day to sustain the trust you and the county place in us.
