BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS
Free blood pressure checks are available at both fire stations between the hours of 7:30 am and 7:30 pm seven days a week. Keep in mind that firefighters may not always be at the fire station due to emergency calls and training events.
If you are experiencing any type of medical concern other than a routine blood pressure check, please call 911 instead of driving yourself to the fire station.

WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE?
Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure results from two forces; one is created by the heart as it pumps blood into the arteries and through the circulatory system. The other is the force of the arteries as they resist the blood flow.
