Life-Saving Addition: New Defibrillator Installed at Eildon Marina

Eildon Marina has taken an important step toward enhancing safety and well-being for its community with the installation of a new defibrillator. The life-saving device has been strategically mounted on the wall between El Lago and 5 Rivers Pizzeria, ensuring its accessibility to anyone in the area during an emergency.

The defibrillator is designed to assist individuals suffering from cardiac arrest, significantly improving their chances of survival. With prompt access to this device, bystanders can provide crucial first aid while waiting for emergency services to arrive.

"Cardiac arrests can happen to anyone, anywhere, and having a defibrillator on hand can make all the difference. We’re proud to offer this resource to help safeguard the health of our marina visitors and the wider Eildon community,”

said BJ, a key figure behind the marina’s ongoing safety enhancements.

The location was chosen for its high visibility and central access, ensuring that patrons and staff from both restaurants, as well as marina visitors, can quickly locate the defibrillator in times of need.

Instructions for use are clearly displayed on the device, making it user-friendly even for those with no prior medical training. Additionally, regular maintenance checks will be conducted to ensure the defibrillator remains in perfect working condition.

This initiative reflects Eildon Marina’s commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all.

We encourage everyone to familiarise themselves with the defibrillator’s location and remain vigilant in assisting anyone who may require urgent medical care. Together, we can make a lifesaving impact.
