Rescue One Foundation Donates AED to Commons

By Cathy Dausman

Moraga now has another Automated External Defibrillator thanks to a donation from Moraga-Orinda Fire District's Rescue One Foundation.

The latest unit was installed inside the kitchen adjacent the band shell at Moraga Commons Park. The portable device is used to treat victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Last fall Rescue One donated an AED to the Moraga library; they also donated a total of eight AEDs to the Moraga and Orinda police departments in 2014.

Hacienda de las Flores and the SODA Aquatic Center at Campolindo High School also have AEDs, although those were not Rescue One purchases. "Knowing now that the town will have a dedicated AED for large community events at The Commons is extremely important," said Moraga Parks and Recreation Director Jay Ingram. "On behalf of the town, thank you for continuing to make Moraga a safe place to live, work, play and rescue," he said.
