Harper County Commissioners who have been proactive this year for public safety added a plus to that record last Tuesday as they purchased eleven new Automatic External Defibrillator units for emergency services in the county.
The machines are able to “shock” a heart back into rhythm during Cadiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) efforts.
A unit was purchased to put into each Sheriff’s vehicle, one each for every fire department in the county and one for the EMS Director.
Use of the units along with CPR gives a heart attack victim an increased chance of survival.
