An essential component of the Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District (BKFD) mission is to promote Fire Prevention and Public Education, Safety Awareness, and Goodwill in the community. The district recognizes the one of the most important defense against fire is awareness through education.
BKFD works with schools, community groups, businesses, volunteer organizations and citizens to provide effective fire and life safety programs throughout the fire district.

CPR
We need everyone’s help to save people who go into Cardiac arrest.
WHY LEARN CPR? after 1 minute, brain cells without oxygen begin to die. The ability of bystanders to perform CPR while waiting for the ambulance is critical to survival and positive patient outcomes.
We have teamed up with Illinois Safety, to offer CPR training to our community, all classes are taught by firefighter paramedics that bring their real world experience to the classroom.
We offer CPR classes at Station 1, located at 103 Beaver Street in Yorkville. Certified instructors provide hands-on training in adult, child, and infant CPR, use of AEDs, and choking rescue techniques.
