It is true that all the local volunteer fire fighters are experts in what they do! I have seen them do tremendous work. May God bless them, the police, emt's, and your Son.

Thank you to everyone who was involved with the rescue. My brother was the one in the smaller car, and I thank you for responding so quickly. Please keep him in your prayers, he's getting surgery on his arm right now.

I am the mother of the 19 yo victim of this head on collision and would like to thank both God and you all for your quick response in utilizing your skills and equipment while removing my son from this terrible situation. He didn't know what hit him. May God Bless you all for doing such great work. And also, I would like to thank whoever called this accident into the emergency rescue team. My son told me that he will never forget your kind and expert response and his first ride in a helicopter. We thank God that he is always one who wears his seatbelt.
