When cardiac arrest hits, every minute without help drops survival by 10%.
In this episode, Battalion Chief Ben Jones of the McKinney Fire Department sits down with Luke Gajary to share how the city is becoming a "4-Minute City," where an AED can reach anyone in town within four minutes. Ben walks through the journey from a 10% cardiac survival rate to nearly 47% in 2025, the technology that makes today's AEDs nearly impossible to misuse, and the bold goal of training 400 Neighborhood Heroes to carry life-saving devices into their homes, cars, and communities.
You'll hear:
- Why putting AEDs in 88 police cars changed the game
- A real story of a father saved on the side of the road by dispatchers, officers, and a quick-thinking neighbor
- The three ways you can get involved today
This is what happens when a city decides survival should not depend on luck.
