AED Now At The Welcome Center

Welcome Center – Automatic Emergency

Defibrillator (AED) is now in the Welcome Center or in the Patrol Truck if the officer is out on patrol.  AFTER calling 911 for suspected HEART ATTACK, call the Welcome Center at 558-9697 to have the officer bring the AED to the site (home address, street, golf course in Hiddenbrooke). The officers are trained in CPR and AED operation and until Rescue arrives will be acting as good Samaritans (not trained EMTs or Paramedics). This could be the crucial 5 minutes response we need in an arrest situation, if Medic Ambulance is out on a call, and Vallejo Fire is 12-15 minutes away.

Program this number to your cell phone and on your refrigerator; it could be lifesaving. If the officer is out on patrol, phone will forward to Sacramento Dispatch and they can reach officer instantly by Sprint radio-phone. Remember to support the Hiddenbrooke Community Association by paying your annual dues now as we are all working together for Hiddenbrooke.
