Many neighborhood groups have coordinated with the fire department to set up AED systems. They collect from residents to fund the initial purchase of the units and enclosures. The department helps them decide where to put the units and handles training the responders in the use of the AED. There is a system that provides alerts to the responders in case of an actual situation and conducts periodic tests of the system.

Contact the fire department for better information on setting up a system in your neighborhood.
