Dear Jason,
The Kenai Fire Department has a Physio-Control LIFEPAK 5 monitor/defibrillator with
recorder and battery charger that was purchased via a grant through Southern Region
EMS Council. You indicated that fids equipment was no longer being used by your
Department because you had upgraded to newer defibrillators.
I am requesting the Kenai Fire Department surplus this LIFEPAK 5 with recorder and
battery charger so it can be sent to Hope/Sunrise EMS in Hope, Alaska. Valerie
DeFrance, Paramedic, who lives in Hope is in need ora LIFEPAK to provide Advanced
Life Support level of care to this area of the Peninsula. By relocating this equipment, it
will continue to provide prehospital care to the citizens of Kenai and the Peninsula as they
are traveling throughout this area.
If you need any additional inforw~tion or assistance, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Susan Hecks
