Tribe helps Siletz Valley Fire District obtain new AEDs and other equipment
By Natasha Kavanaugh
The Siletz Tribal Charitable Contri
bution Fund recently awarded the Siletz
Valley Fire District a grant to purchase
two automatic external defibrillators
(AEDs).
In early June, the fire district took
possession of these devices and they were
placed in service. One is on Logsden fire
engine 5302 and the other is on Siletz
rescue truck 5231.
This lifesaving equipment allows for
better coverage of the fire district and
allows them to be more readily available
when responding and saving lives.
“The Siletz Valley Fire District is
extremely grateful to the Siletz Tribal
Charitable Contribution Foundation and
while we are thankful for this equipment,
we hope we never have to use it,” said
Dave Lapof, chief of the Siletz Valley Fire
District. “We want to remind everyone
that AEDs are only part of the chain of
survival. Bystander CPR is essential to
saving someone’s life.”
To learn more about CPR classes,
contact your local fire department.
New Zoll Auto Pulse equipment
Dean Sawyer, Tribal emergency
management planner, recently acquired
replacement bands for the Zoll Auto Pulse
owned by the Siletz Valley Fire District.
This device is an automatic CPR-type
machine. Once a patient is placed on the
device, the bands are applied around the
patient’s chest and the battery-operated
machine (Auto Pulse) begins compres
sions according to current American Heart
Association guidelines.
This equipment will help maximize
staffing during a medical emergency by
allowing the all-volunteer district to do
more with fewer people, as it is frequently
short-staffed.
“The bands are extremely expensive
and would otherwise use valuable dollars
to keep in stock,” said Lapof. “We are
grateful to Dean Sawyer and the State Pub
lic Health Emergency Preparedness grant
for this critical and costly equipment.”
