Back in July, my mom became very very sick, very suddenly. So much so, we, for the first time ever, called 911. They dispatched an ambulance, in addition to the 108 Mile Volunteer Fire Department (VFD).
In under two minutes, four of our local fire/rescue volunteers were at our home administering first aid to my 91-year-old mom. A minute and a half later, the ambulance team arrived and upon evaluation, they loaded Mom into the ambulance and took off for the 100 Mile Hospital.
