It's Heart Month in Hillsboro

Did you know cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death among men and women? Recognizing the signs and symptoms of a cardiac arrest and knowing how to act are keys to survival. 

Bystanders play an important and lifesaving role. Odds are, if called on to give CPR, you will most likely be trying to save the life of someone you love - a friend, a parent, a spouse. Will you know what to do?

Tips to Keep You Battery Safe

Lithium-ion batteries power many devices we use and rely on daily. However, many people don't realize that lithium-ion batteries can become unstable if damaged, used improperly, are overcharged or exposed to extreme temperatures. This instability can lead to overheating, sparking and even explosions.

Battery fires can leave you with less than one minute to escape your home, so it's important to know how to prevent them from starting in the first place.
