It is very true, we would all be hurting without them. I have been told that my wife and I were hit by a red light runner on the Fourth of July and Company 6 (Huntingtown) and Company 5 (Dunkirk) responded along with Medic (either 103 or 104). They cut me out of my vehicle and called in Trooper 7 to transport myself and the lady who hit us to PG Shock Trauma. My wife was treated and released at CMH and I spent 12 days in PG (I only remember 7 or 8 of those).
It is great to be able to thank your friends and neighbors who responded.
