Default Fire District vote

Ambulance response time was one of the reasons I voted YES to the Fire District amendment esp given the growing size of Sumter Co. AED purchase for your Village section might be a good way to ensure a defibrillator is onsite for a cardiac situation. Ventricular Fibrillation is one of the cardiac conditions that needs electricity intervention quickly and a major reason for deaths outside the hospital. THIS was my greatest concern for a delayed ambulance response time.
