When someone
is having a heart attack, seconds count. Getting
advanced medical life support to the scene FAST is
critical. The Orcas Island Fire Department and the
Volunteer Firefighter EMT Association have joined
together to provide every emergency responder with an
Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). 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
was able to fund the balance so the additional 15
Zoll AEDs have been purchased. Thank you!
