“When cardiac arrest happens outside of the hospital, survival rate decreases considerably,” said Weyburn Fire Chief Simon Almond. “AEDs are valuable devices to have accessible to our community so we can double the chance of survival.” The City of Weyburn has placed AEDs in locations around the community where large groups of people gather or in central locations for the public:
• City Hall – 157 3rd St. NE
• Police Station – 400 Coteau Ave.
• Fire Station – 55 16th St.
• Weyburn Leisure Centre – 532 5th St.
• Crescent Point Place/Tom Zandee Sports Arena – 327 Mergens St. Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart unexpectedly stops beating; it is unpredictable and can happen anywhere at any time. According to St. John Ambulance, one cardiac arrest occurs every 12 minutes in Canada.

Organizers said the raffle money also allowed the hospitals to purchase Automatic External Defibrillators for local recreation facilities, fire departments and the Metroparks.
Borehamwood police station Defibrillators have been installed outside 18 police stations across Hertfordshire. The Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) allow members of the public, as well as police officers and staff, to provide potentially life-saving care in emergencies with support of call handlers from the East of England Ambulance service. Among the police stations where a defibrillator has been fitted is Borehamwood, Watford, St Albans, and South Mimms, as well as the force’s headquarters in Welwyn Garden City. All the machines are situated within a weather-proof and anti-theft storage cabinet with a keypad code entry system. The access code for the defibrillator will be disclosed to any individual dialling 999 and asking for an ambulance, and call handlers will support the caller with life-saving instructions while additional help is dispatched to the location.
