Thank you to 911 heroes

Last Thursday, my husband took a bad fall. We could not get him up off the ground. I called 911 for help. Very soon four men from the fire department came down our driveway. In no more than four minutes, they had him up and sitting in a chair. They checked him out and got him into the house.

I cannot thank them enough for their help. This is the first time we have called 911. The response was very quick. The four firemen are our heroes. Thank you!
