You may have a first-aid kit, but do you know how to use what's inside?

A local security and defense training company wants to educate people on how to properly use everything inside of a first-aid kit and emergency preparedness.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Do you ever think about what you would do in the case of an emergency? Whether that be a bad burn or a bee sting?

Well a local security and defense training company, Bishop 30 Solutions, is holding classes to teach people everything first-aid.

They aim to teach people about emergency preparedness and that it's not just about having a first-aid kit but knowing how to use what's inside.

"You don't know when an accident is gonna happen, so you have to be prepared 24/7, first-aid is one of many things of being prepared. So, you can have a great first-aid kit but if you don't know how to use the stuff in it, it does you no good. So, not only do you need the actual kit but you need the training to go with it," said Noell Bishop, president of Bishop 30 Solutions.
