Given the demographics of TV, it is cheap insurance. As to how fast will people respond, the more people who are trained and willing to save a life, the closer they are likely to be to you. Hopefully, you will take the training and be willing to save a life. From my understanding, the average time for EMTs to arrive is around 5 minutes. If you have someone in your block, it will be under 3 minutes. Those 2 minutes make a huge difference.
There's a reason why the survival rate for cardiac events is considerably higher in TV than the national average.
