Bethel Project Aims To Provide A.E.D.

In Bethel, a volunteer firefighters’ campaign supports AEDs for the school’s sports complex. The Bethel and Stony Hill volunteer fire departments are encouraging residents to purchase and install a blue reflective address marker with proceeds going toward the purchase of an automated external defibrillator for the school sports complex. As of Feb. 19, the departments were 50 signs away from meeting their fundraising goal. 122 signs were sold, which is $610 raised, along with $105 in direct donations. That $715 will be matched by Newtown Savings Bank, putting the departments at $1,430. That’s about $500 shy of the goal. Orders can be placed at www.bvfdinc.com and www.stonyhillfiredepartment.com
