    AED Location Map

    Our goal is to have an AED unit within 3 minutes of every resident of our EMS District. We currently have over 50 AED units deployed throughout the County in ambulances, EMTs cars, Deputy vehicles, fire engines, community buildings, resorts and in homes of citizens willing to respond to their neighbor’s cry for help.

    Every 15 Minutes

    Every 3 years we offer an anti-drinking and driving program called “Every 15 Minutes” which is an experiential high-impact and community involving program aimed at helping high schoolers resist the pressures to drink and drive. Learn More About Every 15 Minutes >>

    Life’s lessons are best learned through experience. Unfortunately, when the target audience is teens and the topic is drinking and driving, experience is not the teacher of choice.
