Okay just a thought as I've been reading this thread. My questions are :
is the AED being kept in the garage for easy access.
Where are the pads being kept with the AED or does each individual on the program pads at their own home.
I'm grateful that people take the time to practice runs.
My thought is and hope that the person involved called 911 first.
Then activate The AED team.
My concern is that an AED kept in a hot garage during the summer may or may not function as quickly as it should.
The pads also may become non-sticky or gooey and may not adhere to the person.
My third concern is are the AEDs being checked on a weekly basis to ensure they are working correctly.
One may find by the time the AED team is activated gets the AED goes to the home and starts to assess the person I am in hopes that the fire department will be there just as quickly. If not the AED team will be able to respond and help the party.

I have had the experience of doing CPR in a driveway in the villages. I hit my OnStar button when I got out of the car spoke quickly and thoroughly to the respondent on OnStar. In less then 2 minutes according to on star (I might add in a new village with only 3houses occupied ) I had help from the fire department. At the end of my compression round they took over

Did it make me feel good for what I did yes and another way sad that sometimes no matter how hard you try you cannot change the outcome of someone's life
