Half hour of CPR is grueling. Do the rec centers have an AED? Surprised the 911 did not put first responders in effect. A ambulance is the second to arrive.

When we first bought our house in Pennacamp there were only three people living in our neighborhood as it was still being built. The only other person there had fallen and fractured his hip. I had OnStar press the button and ask for a first responder. Told OnStar I was in the middle of a brand-new subdivision my fear was no one would find us. Before I finished my conversation I could hear the sirens, first responders were there in less than two minutes. I am hoping as we have grown so large that this is not a norm for us not to have a fast response. So glad there are people who could continue to do CPR for that length of time. My question is were they still doing CPR when help arrived? Even the fire station 10 minutes away could have taken over CPR.
