The hazards may be anything from a natural gas leak in
your home to an overturned tanker truck carrying
gasoline fuel on Hwy 30. The sirens sound and the
emergency responders jump out of their apparatus to
assist the injured and protect the environment from
further damage. The response time and first-class
care often mean the difference between life and death.
