From page 3
fighters realized that they were
dealing with one of their own.
During the time they didn’t know
who I was, I had a moment to
watch how they treat a patient,
and how they handle a scene. I
was impressed. These people
were nothing short of profession
al as they evaluated my situation,
the traffic situatipn and what was
best for all. W hat really got to me
was when each medic/firefighter
realized whom I was, the look
that came over them was a look
of concern and fear like you have
when a family m em ber is in dan
ger or hurt.
They say that em ergency per
sonnel are a brotherhood, but un
til you see those faces and see
and hear that concern, you don’t
realize how much of a brother
hood it really is. I want to let
everyone in this com m unity know
how lucky you are to have these
neighbors, friends and fam ily
members who are willing to put it
on the line for you any time, any-
where just to make this a bet-

ter/safer place to live.
I would like to take a moment
to thank all the fire and medic
volunteers for their care and com
passion, as well as the phone
calls and flowers after I arrived
. home from the hospital. Thanks
to those m otorists who also
stopped to help me.
Vernonia is a small community
that is often short on money to
pay for the same benefits that the
larger communities expect, so we
have to rely on our volunteers to
do these jobs. Each of us need to
remember that the people who
respond to our homes, car acci
dents, fires, and other emergen
cies are not paid other than
through the fact that they know
they helped. As a reminder, when
you see a car with fire or medic
plates following you with their
flashers on, let them by, they may
be on their way to your house.
Thanks again to the Vernonia
