EASTON, MARYLAND — A free Stop the Bleed class will meet Thursday, Oct. 29, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Talbot County Community Center Ice Rink, 10028 Ocean Gateway, in Easton. Attendees 18 and older will receive a free personal Stop the Bleed kit, listed as a $45 value, at the end of the class.

The course covers three techniques, according to the University of Maryland Medical System listing: using your hands to apply pressure to a wound, packing a wound to control bleeding, and correctly applying a tourniquet.
