City of Vacaville Deploys LIFEPAK 35 Defibrillators on All Fire Apparatus

VACAVILLE, Calif. – The City of Vacaville is proud to announce the deployment of state-of-the-art LIFEPAK 35 defibrillators on every fire apparatus across the city. This investment reflects the City’s ongoing commitment to enhancing emergency medical response and saving lives in critical situations.

Manufactured by Stryker, the LIFEPAK 35 defibrillators provide advanced cardiac monitoring and lifesaving defibrillation capabilities. Designed to perform in high-stakes emergency scenarios, these devices empower first responders to deliver better care in the field.

Fire Chief Kris Concepcion highlighted the importance of this milestone for the community, stating, "The deployment of the LIFEPAK 35 defibrillators equips our department with the best tool available to respond to cardiac emergencies. This is a significant step forward in our mission to protect and serve the residents of Vacaville with the highest standard of care."

According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 1,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are assessed by emergency medical services in the United States every day. The addition of the LIFEPAK 35 units enhances the City’s ability to provide rapid and effective treatment during cardiac emergencies, where every second counts.

Defibrillators are a primary tool on every dispatched City of Vacaville Fire apparatus. City of Vacaville Fire Department personnel have received comprehensive training to fully prepare them to operate these new devices. The City of Vacaville leased 13 each with an estimated usable life of eight years. The LIFEPAK 35 defibrillators will replace prior units approved for purchase by the City Council in 2013.
