Life-Saving AED SaveStation To Be Installed At Badger Mountain Community Park - 05/26/26

The City of Richland and Richland Fire & Emergency Services will unveil a new Automated External Defibrillator (AED) SaveStation at Badger Mountain Community Park (350 Keene Road) on Monday, June 1, 2026, further expanding public access to life-saving emergency equipment throughout the community. This will be the seventh unit placed in Richland. 

 

The SaveStation will be located near the park’s central amenities area, providing convenient access for park visitors, sports participants, walkers, and families enjoying the community park. A brief unveiling ceremony will take place at 11:00 a.m. at the installation site.

 

AED SaveStations provide immediate access to an Automated External Defibrillator during a cardiac emergency, when every second matters. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, and prompt CPR and AED use significantly improve survival rates.

 

Key features of the AED SaveStation include:

  • 24/7 Accessibility: The unit is available around the clock, ensuring immediate access during emergencies.
  • Temperature Control: Built-in climate controls help protect the AED and maintain operational readiness year-round.
  • Alarm System: Opening the unit activates an alarm to draw attention to the emergency and alert nearby individuals.
  • GPS Monitoring: The SaveStation is equipped with GPS technology that supports monitoring and helps emergency responders locate the device quickly.
  • User-Friendly Instructions: Clear visual and voice-guided instructions assist users through the AED process, even without prior training.

 

The installation supports the City’s ongoing commitment to public safety and aligns with HeartSafe Richland, a community initiative focused on improving survival outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest through public education, Hands-Only CPR training, and increased access to AEDs.

 

"Having AEDs readily available in our parks and public spaces can make the difference between life and death during a cardiac emergency," said Richland Fire & Emergency Services Chief Randy Aust. "This SaveStation helps ensure that residents and visitors have access to life-saving equipment when and where it is needed most."

 

The Badger Mountain Community Park installation expands Richland’s growing network of publicly accessible SaveStations, helping create a safer and more prepared community.
