City of Glendale Fire Department Public Information Office
The Glendale Fire Department’s Public Information Office continued its proactive approach of communicating important safety messages to the community, employing all aspects of media including television, print, Web and radio. In 2008 the Glendale Fire Department was featured in more than 150 print and broadcast stories, allowing our safety messages to be heard and seen Valleywide. In addition to promoting several safety campaigns, the department continued its efforts in training as many people as possible in CCC-CPR (Continuous Chest Compressions). As a result, the Glendale bystander CPR intervention rate increased from 24 percent in 2007 to 31 percent in 2008, compared to 20 percent nationally. But even more encouraging is the bystander rate for CCC intervention, which was dramatically higher at 85 percent. We remain committed to our goal of teaching all citizens the life-saving skill of CCC-CPR and constantly strive for excellence in bringing up-to-date safety information to the community.
