MWB - AED Information

Given the event that happened at the Buffalo vs Bengals, NFL game I thought now would be a good time to remind everyone that there is an emergency defibrillator (AED) stored in the Kelley Field dugout shed during the MWB season. Many of you may not be aware that back in 2017 a Maine Woods 45 player suffered a very serious heart attack during a game. Thanks to the quick action by the players, a spectator who happened to be a nurse and the AED device stored in the Bath Rec maintenance building they were able to stabilize the player until the ambulance arrived. It was fortunate that there were some trained people there to take control, but it was the AED that really made all the difference. With that in mind the league decided to purchase one and keep it in the Kelley Field dugout during the season so we wouldn't have to bust open the maintenance building door if it was locked...as it was on the day of the incident. With the help of Bath Rec and the City of Bath we were able to purchase a top of the line AED device.


Hopefully we never need it but if we do it's there. Some managers unlock the dugout shed door before each game but if you need the AED and the door is locked the key is stored in a magnetic box stuck on the I-beam above, and to the right of the door. If there is not a key there during the season let me know immediately. I have extras and so do the grounds crew guys. Attached is the basic operating guide for you to check out and a picture of our device in its winter storage location so you know what it looks like. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
