(Deming) – Luna County officials  have purchased seven automated external defibrillators through a federal grant  from the Emergency Management Office.

additional units are pending registration through the  state and will be assigned to the Mimbres Valley Learning Center, the Florida  Mountain Volunteer Fire Department and the Savoy Volunteer Fire  Department. 
The grant to purchase  the defibrillators was awarded to the Luna County Emergency Services Division… and director Mark Jasso
thanked Deming Fire Chief Edgar Davalos for his support  in getting the program going.
