See response from Paula, soon as a call goes to 911 they ascertain type of emergency and then all AED responders are notified at the same time as fire and EMT. Several weeks ago I had the unfortunate opportunity to call 911, my husband was not breathing and no pulse. As I’m speaking with 911 my cell phone is ringing (I’m a responder for my neighborhood). With in 2 minutes my neighbors were there with AED and a few minutes later the rest of emergency personnel were there. Unfortunately my husband was not revivable, but the system worked the way it was set up to.
