The Killingworth Ambulance Association will hold its first “Stop the Bleed” class of 2020 on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020, at the KAA’s Route 81 headquarters. The course begins at 11:00 a.m., and is free and open to persons ages 12 years and older.

Those who attend are required to wear protective face masks.

“Stop the Bleed” is a nationwide awareness campaign that was launched in 2015 by the White House and Department of Homeland Security. It is designed to empower bystanders with the training to deal with traumatic events and emergency bleeding situations before emergency help arrives.
