The Chanhassen Fire Department approached several organizations requesting donations to
purchase three state -of- the -art electronic defibrillator units to be used for resuscitating heart attack
victims. The decision was made during the year to upgrade our equipment and have defibrillators
at both fire stations, and in an additional emergency response vehicle. We have had two actual
saves this year from defibrillators.
These units are lifesavers.
The Chanhassen Lion's Club has generously offered to purchase one of the units in the amount
of $3,234.00, and it is the recommendation of staff that this generous donation be accepted, and
the Public Safety Director send a letter thanking them for their donation.
