Advanced Technology. Better Chances. More Lives Saved.

When someone's heart stops, what happens in those first few minutes can make all the difference.

At Wauseon Fire Department, advanced cardiac technology helps our paramedics make critical decisions, provide lifesaving treatment, and give patients the best possible chance of survival.

Hear from Rod Cheney of ZOLL Medical as he shares how this technology is making a difference in emergency cardiac care.

But even the best technology needs something else… YOU!

When bystanders recognize cardiac arrest and begin CPR before first responders arrive, they become a critical part of the lifesaving process.

❤️ You don't have to wear a uniform to help save a life.

Wauseon Fire Department offers CPR and AED training to help our community be ready when it matters most.
