Heartsaver CPR/AED

Heartsaver CPR AED teaches participants how to perform CPR,

and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) safely and

effectively on adults, children and infants, as well as how to relieve

choking. Based on the latest American Heart Association

Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).

Heartsaver CPR/AED plus First-Aid

This course covers everything offered in our Heartsaver CPR class

in addition to first aid basics, medical emergencies, injury

emergencies, and preventing illness and injury.

BLS Provider CPR

This course trains participants to recognize life-threatening

emergencies, perform high-quality chest compressions, deliver

appropriate breaths and ventilations, and use an AED early and

effectively. This course reflects the 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR

and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) and is designed for

healthcare professionals and other personnel who need to perform

CPR and basic cardiovascular life support skills in both in-hospital

and out-of-hospital settings.

Fire extinguisher training

Firefighter Visits

Our firefighters can engage and support our community through

educational events, safety demonstrations and local celebrations.

School Visits

We provide fire and life safety lessons tailored to students. We work

closely with teachers and administrators to ensure the material is

appropriate for the class, age group, and learning environment.

Fire and Life Safety Discussions

We provide educational presentations on a variety of topics

including but not limited to fall prevention, hurricane preparedness,

brush fire preparedness, smoke alarms, escape plans, and more.

Each presentation is tailored to the audience’s age, experience,

and setting to empower the community to stay safe and make

informed decisions in emergencies.

Sharps Program

We provide a safe and convenient way for residents to drop off their

used sharps at every Estero Fire Rescue station. We collect used

needles in sealed Sharps containers, as well as provide

replacement containers at no charge.

File of Life

Estero Fire Rescue provides File of Life information magnets to

residents upon request. The File of Life magnet is a tool designed

to help first responders access important medical information

quickly during an emergency. The magnet is placed on your

refrigerator and holds a form with key information such as medical

conditions, allergies, medications, emergency contacts and more.

This form can be completed for up to two people.

Equipment and Apparatus Tour

We offer hands-on tours of our fire trucks, equipment and tools at

schools, community events, and fire stations. Children will have the

opportunity to explore the truck, fire hose, medical equipment and

tools, as well as ask questions and interact with firefighters directly.

Fire Station Tours

We offer guided fire station tours by appointment only at our

stations. During the tour participants will get a behind the scenes

look at where and how firefighters live during their 24 hour shift,

firefighting equipment and apparatus, and get a better

understanding of the daily operations of a working fire station.

Parade participation

Estero Fire apparatus can participate in parade events throughout

the community if scheduled in advance to ensure availability and

safety.

Fill a Truck Toy Drive

Estero Fire Rescue fire stations serve as drop-off locations for new,

unwrapped toys during the holiday season. All donations stay local

and go to children in our community who are in need. Keep an eye

out for more information as the holidays approach and help us

make the season brighter for kids in Estero!
