Ellsworth, WI Fire Department Awarded Free Portable Automated External Defibrillator Through a Grant from the AED Superstore™ and Defibtech, LLC
BOULDER JUNCTION, Wis., (PRWEB) December 31, 2005 -- The AED Superstore™ and Defibtech, LLC, proud co-sponsors of the AEDsForLife.org fire agency defibrillator grant program, have announced that the Ellsworth, Wisconsin Fire Department has been awarded a free Defibtech LifeLine automated external defibrillator (AED). Fire Chief Brent Langer and Firefighter Dr. Kirk Prodzinski accepted delivery of the AED.
The AEDsForLife.org Fire Agency AED Grant was created by the AED Superstore™ and Defibtech, LLC to help reduce the number of fatalities experienced by the fire service as a result of heart attacks and cardiac arrest. Statistics consistently show that roughly half of all firefighter casualties in the field are due to those conditions.
In early 2005 Dr. Prodzinski had the opportunity to rescuscitate a patient in the field using an AED at a local sports event. The experience prompted him to obtain one for his fire department.
The city of Ellsworth, WI is located 65 miles west of Eau Claire and 50 miles southeast of Minneapolis, MN. The Ellsworth Fire Department consists of 52 active members.
All U.S. Federal, state, and local fire agencies are eligible for the AEDsForLife.org grant. Information and application materials are available at http://www.aedsforlife.org .
