FFFPD
Launches Public Access AED Program
cont'd
Emergency Medical Services providers
have traditionally performed
defibrillation, but quick EMS
response isn't always available.
Even the best EMS systems are
delayed by heavy traffic, secured
buildings and gated communities.
It’s for this reason that FFFPD has
become an advocate in establishing a
public access defibrillation program
for the towns of both Frederick and
Firestone.
With a special thanks to Suncor
Energy, FFFPD has been able fund and
distribute a total of 13 AED’s to
various schools, local government,
and recreation facilities within our
district boundaries.
The
automated external defibrillator of
choice is the Phillips “Heartstart”.
The Heartstart provides clear
natural voice instruction through
each step. This user friendly device
senses and adapts to your actions as
it coaches you through the CPR
process.
