🫀 New Public-Access AED at the Barre Town Recreation Field

A public-access Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is now available at the pickleball and tennis courts located at 46 Websterville Road in Barre, Vermont.

This AED is available for anyone to use during a cardiac emergency. When the AED cabinet is opened:

The system automatically calls 911. Speak directly with the emergency dispatcher through the cabinet.
A security camera records the person opening the cabinet.
GPS technology allows the AED’s location to be tracked in real time.

This AED is preloaded with Adult pads, inside the case there are pediatric pads that can be plugged in, if needed.

If someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally, call 911, begin CPR, retrieve the AED, and follow its spoken instructions. You do not need medical training—the AED will guide you through each step and will deliver a shock only if one is needed.

Please help us keep this lifesaving equipment secure, accessible, and ready for an emergency.
