I would bet the Rec Center has an AED machine, as most rec centers and public buildings here do.
I'm sure the sport pool at the rec center has an Emergency Phone that's a land line, near the pool equipment room and locker room doors. I'd keep that in mind and call from that phone first, or in addition to cellular call to 911.
I hope from seeing these reports, that residents too cheap to contribute a few bucks a year--to their neighborhood, volunteer AED equipment, responder training and dispatch costs--wake up and see that the fire department amubulances could be out on other calls already. This is why the dozens of effective neighborhood AED groups have been formed, and why the survival rate here in TV is much higher than anywhere else!
