If you live in Sumter county, before you do anything contact Jacki Martin at thr public safety office, behind the Sumter library. The county has a program now that pays for thr upkeep and replacement of AEDs, pads and batteries. They also pay for the app to notify you. I am the coordinator for my area and we have responded to several 2 am in the morning calls. About a third of the time we beat the fire dept, but the FD is there 2-3 minutes after us. It may not sound like much but that's 2-3 minutes of cpr that up the odds of survival. If you have questions call me 318-787-8993 Bruce
