The Snoqualmie Fire Department is taking a proactive stance against the opioid crisis by offering a free Opioid Education and Overdose Reversal Training Class on July 11, 2023. The class will run from 6-7 pm in the Fire Station Training room, located at 37600 Snoqualmie Parkway. This important initiative aims to educate community members about the dangers associated with opioid use and the essential techniques for reversing an overdose. Participants will learn to identify the signs of an overdose and how to administer life-saving interventions effectively. With opioid-related incidents on the rise, such educational programs are crucial for equipping citizens with the knowledge they need to respond in emergencies.

The training not only enhances individual readiness but also strengthens community resilience against the opioid epidemic. By fostering awareness and preparedness, the Snoqualmie Fire Department hopes to make a meaningful impact in the fight against substance abuse. Community involvement in such initiatives is key to creating a safer environment for everyone.
