AED's are everywhere now. CPR is easier then ever (no mouth to mouth required)

Granted every one of our rigs has an AED on board and that helps. In the last 15 years since regularly carrying them there have probably been several hundred saves.
One engine company alone in this calendar year, same crew, has had 3 full blown heart attack victims (full working codes) that were conversing before being carted away in the ambulance.
Look around next time you are in a public gathering place, odds are you will see an AED on the wall.
