Grateful Citizen Expresses Gratitude for Extraordinary Mishawaka Fire Department – EMS Care

Grateful Citizen Expresses Gratitude for Extraordinary Mishawaka Fire Department – EMS Care

Thankfully, we have never had reason to call for assistance for Mishawaka EMS services.

Until last month, when a frightening calamity at our home, required immediate 911 call. We soon heard the distant reassuring sound of sirens. On the way to our rescue in a few minutes, the EMS vehicle was at our front door, while in a company vehicle stated the street with emergency lights flashing.

The team that came to the door, confidently focused on proper lifesaving, first response steps, putting our minds somewhat at ease. As they loaded the injured person into the vehicle, they gave us clear instructions for what needed to be done to prepare and secure the household for departure to the hospital.

We learned later that the personnel were:

Engine one, from station one Lieutenant Ryan Smith, Randi Sotelo, Clay Price

Engine 2, from Station 2, Jared Norton, Ryhs Howell

We have been fortunate to live in Mishawaka, under the administration of fine, very capable mayors. Mayor Wood, your own service has led the City to Unimagine heights of excellence in the great range of pursuits. But we have never had reason to so specifically and unforgettably know what is required to save and protect our people.

Now that we do. Thank you!

Yours truly,

Betty from Mishawaka
