Life Saving Devices Available in Austin Communities
Austin Volunteer Fire Department
As part of an on-going fire and EMS safety program with the Austin Volunteer Fire Company, department members Kathy Brooks and Andy Bothell have co-chaired the program to obtain funds to purchase three automated external defibrillators (AED) for placement in the Austin community.
Brooks stated “when a cardiac arrest occurs, the heart stops abruptly with little or no warning.” Early recognition of cardiac arrest improves the person’s chance of survival and is key to starting the correct core of CPR and the appropriate use of the AED to restart the heart. CPR can help keep the heart pumping and blood flowing to vital organs until an electrical shock from an AED is available to restore the heart to a normal heart rhythm.
Bothell noted “many times cardiac arrests happen in public places and it is important to remember that as a bystander everyone’s actions can help.” Witnessing and responding to a cardiac arrest can be a very traumatic event. Having the right equipment available is much more reassuring to your community members in the event of an emergency. With today’s technology, an AED is very easy to use; anyone can operate it under any circumstance.
AED’s are intended for use by the general public—with or without specialized training.

Common areas frequented and her house are being checked and rechecked. 10 miles around her house has had plane search, walkers, Drivers and Drone coverage.House was searched on Saturday before the first alert.

Due to her being in a vehicle, K9 teams do not feel they would be helpful at this time
️Best ways to help:
1) Check in at Westfield Community Center to get assigned search route. Make sure you’re checking along/over banks not just on the roadways.
2) Check any of your personal cameras that show roadways for vehicle matching description driving by and provide date time and direction of travel to family in charge of search party.If any business or ring camera looks toward the road can review footage from Friday 5 am. If we can see where she was or no sign of her on the the road, we can reconstruct where she was headed. House and Cemetaries are checked several times a day for her possible return to those places.
3) SPREAD THE WORD! Share her picture, vehicle description and plate!
4) If you see someone matching her description or vehicle matching description – TRY TO IDENTIFY/VERIFY PLATE FIRST AND CALL 911 IF FOUND!!!
5. If you see something suspicious call us or Justin with the drone to check it out. If you find the car and verify the plate do not approach unless obvious signs of life. Call 911, then try to get us. DO NOT TAKE PICTURES AND POST ON FACEBOOK. The police and resque need to have room for them to get to you and secure the area.
We really really appreciate all who are trying to find her for us. Vicki
