We have 3 on the Jacaranda Island section of Pennecamp funded by the residents of our area and monitored by a group of responders who are our neighbors. When a cardiac event is called into the fire dept. within our neighborhood, beepers for the responders go off and they get the AED's and run to the home where the emergency was called in from. We have had a couple of instances where this has happened and our neighbors beat the fire dept to the home. The AED's can save a life when minutes matter.
