Our mission at Rescue One is to provide people with the knowledge, skills, and tools to help save lives and deal with life safety emergencies properly.
Emergencies don’t come with a warning. One minute, everything is fine, then the unthinkable happens. A coworker collapses. A loved one can’t breathe. A stranger needs help in a crowded public space. Knowing what to do in these moments isn’t just helpful—it’s critical.
That’s precisely why Rescue One Training for Life, Inc. exists.
We are more than just a training provider. We are a mission-driven organization committed to empowering people with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to act when lives are on the line.
A Mission Rooted in Action
Founded with the belief that anyone can be a hero in an emergency, Rescue One has become one of the region’s most trusted sources for certified safety and medical response training. We offer hands-on instruction, real-world scenarios, and practical tools that prepare individuals and teams to respond effectively to life-threatening situations.
But we don’t just train, we equip. In addition to our training services, we provide access to life-saving equipment like Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), emergency kits, and bleed kits, along with full support to manage and maintain them over time.
Our Core Training Services
Rescue One is an authorized training center for organizations like the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Safety & Health Institute (ASHI). Our certified instructors lead classes that cover a wide spectrum of life-saving skills, including:
-
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): Learn how to perform chest compressions and rescue breathing for adults, children, and infants.
-
AED Use: Gain the confidence to operate an AED during sudden cardiac arrest—one of the most critical steps before emergency services arrive.
-
Basic and Advanced First Aid: From burns to fractures to allergic reactions, our courses teach how to stabilize injuries until professional help arrives.
-
Bloodborne Pathogen Awareness: Designed for workplaces where exposure to blood or bodily fluids is a risk, this course covers best practices for prevention and response.
These aren’t boring, sit-down lectures. Our classes are interactive, engaging, and designed to stick with you long after the training ends.

Equipment That Saves Lives
Training is essential, but having the right equipment is just as important. Rescue One is a full-service provider of emergency preparedness products, including:
-
AEDs from top manufacturers
-
Pediatric AED pads and accessories
-
Wall cabinets and signage to make AEDs visible and accessible
-
First aid kits for homes, offices, and vehicles

Bleeding control kits for mass casualty preparedness
We also offer AED program management, which ensures your devices are properly registered, maintained, and ready to use at all times.
Why Our Work Matters
According to recent data, fewer than 46% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims receive bystander CPR. That’s a staggering statistic and a painful reminder of how many lives are lost simply because help didn’t arrive fast enough.
Rescue One is working to change that, one trained responder at a time. Life-saving skills should be as common as driving or using a fire extinguisher. And with more trained citizens, businesses, and institutions, we can build communities that are not only safer but also more resilient.
