So happy to hear that this man is recovering.

That is not an Ambulance Station. It is a Fire Station. No ambulance is stationed there. The Fire Dept. and the Ambulance are two different entities that work together. The Village Fire Dept. should have been dispatched as well as an ambulance. Rohan Rec. Center is in Sumter Co. which is covered by Rural Metro Ambulance. A private / for profit company I believe.
If the Fire Dept. took half an hour, I would ask the Fire Chief what the problem was. If it was Rural Metro that was slow I would ask my County Rep. or County Manager why. They are the ones that are responsible for them being here.
I hope there was no delay in calling 911. Sometimes people think someone else called. I would think there is an AED at Rohan Rec. and I also hope someone went for it. And last, in a bad situation 3 minutes can seem like 30.... I've been there. Hope all turns out well.
