Your Portage Firefighters had the privilege of continuing our mission of community outreach this holiday season by setting City Point Church up with a complete AED system for installation in their church. Early access to an automated external defibrillator (AED) is an important link in the chain of survival in sudden cardiac arrest, and we commend their leadership for taking the initiative to help their members in the event of an emergency.

The Portage Firefighters Local 3151 routinely assists other not-for-profits with acquiring life-saving AEDs and are honored to do so. For more information regarding our AED Program, please email us at [email protected].
