Special Thank You:
![]() Manatee County Search and Rescue is always looking to the future on ways to better prepare and provide services to the citizens we serve. Last month Captain Dvorack replied to a Facebook post from ElecoTek in regards to a free Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) giveaway. MCSAR has been able to provide Basic Life Support services but has been lacking in having an AED available. With statistics from the American Heart Association showing that for every minute someone in cardiac arrest goes without defibrillation their chance of survival drops by 7-10%, we have been looking at ways to incorporate an AED into our medical equipment. As of this morning we are happy to announce that ElecoTek has chosen MCSAR as the recipient of a Lifepak AED. This Lifepak will be brought to calls for service as well as event standbys that MCSAR participates in throughout the area. It will be another great tool for our EMTs and members to have in our toolbox. Thank you once again to ElecoTek for choosing MCSAR for this great donation. If you, your department or organization, or anyone you know needs medical supplies please check out ElecoTek and see if this great company can help you out! Meet the NEWEST addition to our team, The Light Military Transport Vehicle (LMTV)!
The LMTV is an 18,000lb deep water, all wheel drive vehicle. We are able to assist in evacuating members of the community who have been stranded after a flood or in a remote area. Check out the video below to learn more.
