When someone is having a heart attack, seconds count. Getting advanced medical life support to the scene FAST is critical.

The $ 21,238.30 for an additional 15 AED units was not in the budget. So the Association went to the community and asked for help. The response was $16,495 in donations!

The Volunteer Firefighter/EMT Association extends a “Thank You!” to the community that made it possible to fund the balance needed to purchase the additional 15 Zoll AEDs.
