BEND, Oregon. – A local nonprofit teamed up with Bend firefighters on Monday to stress the importance of CPR Safety training — and their message was driven home by a long-time volunteer whose life was saved just last month.

First-responder, firefighter and paramedic Luke Stott told News Channel 21 Bend that it took about eight minutes for them to respond to the call. He said Butner would’ve likely died if there hadn’t been an AED on site. Stott said Oregon law requires larger businesses to have AEDs, but he wants every business or organization to consider purchasing one. Details Here
