The co-owner of six Bay Area Ace Hardware stores will be holding training events at the stores to teach people how to use Narcan, the overdose reversal drug.

San Francisco continues to battle the fentanyl crisis on multiple fronts, and that could soon include the drug store counter.
San Francisco could become the first city in the country to require every pharmacy within its boundaries to always carry naloxone, a drug that reverses overdoses caused by fentanyl and other opioids.
While the Food and Drug Administration has given the green light to distribute the overdose reversal drug naloxone or Narcan over the counter, a Peninsula father who lost his son to fentanyl is doing what he can now to save lives.
