Happy birthday to first responder Jason Bell!

Recently, we posted about our need for assistance in purchasing new Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and we feel that our sponsors deserve recognition. We extend our gratitude to Chris with Lemley Funeral Service and Atkins Super Donuts for their support. Due to the cost of AEDs, we are still seeking donations, which can be made at Centennial Bank.

We regret seeing businesses depart our community. However, due to their closure in Atkins, the exceptional crew at Rieke kindly reached out to us and donated a like new AED. Thank you for thinking about us and our great community.

We’ve had several calls for strokes in our district lately, prompting us to remind everyone about BE FAST. Every second is critical in the event of a stroke, so do not delay in calling 911!

🚑 Atkins Emergency Response Team Needs Your Help ❤️

The Atkins Emergency Response Team is reaching out to our amazing community and local businesses for support.

We are currently working to purchase 3 new Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to better serve and protect the citizens of Atkins. The total cost for these life-saving devices is $7,214.73. So far this year we have responded to 7 cardiac arrest in our district. We normally average 8 within a whole year!

AEDs are critical in cardiac emergencies—having updated equipment on hand can make the difference between life and death. Currently we have one working AED for a team of 12 responders.

💙 How you can help:
• Donate any amount—every dollar counts
• Local businesses can sponsor or contribute
• Help us spread the word

💵 Donations can be made at Centennial Bank in Atkins under the Atkins Emergency Response Team account.

Together, we can ensure our team has the tools needed when seconds matter most.

Thank you for supporting your local Emergency Response Team!
