Appreciation for emergency services is expressed

To The Eagle:

After reading the latest issue of The Eagle, we were driving to Longview when we were overtaken by the Cathlamet ambulance. Further down the highway we then saw the ambulance stopped in a pull-off on the side of the road where they were transferring the patient to the Cowlitz ambulance.

Having just read in the Sheriff’s Report the great volume of calls for help of all sorts for the week of December 2-8, it makes me realize, once again, how thankful we all could be for those who answer the first call at 911, and then those who mobilize quickly to help so efficiently and with care.

I’m writing to say a big thank you to all of you! I’m thankful to you for being there. I’m thankful to you for all the training you’ve taken to be the best prepared for the emergencies that keep coming. I’m thankful for the calm voices that answer 911 and for their valuable part in helping the callers. It’s true we take for granted that you will be there. That is a huge compliment! We appreciate you.

Victoria Block, Cathlamet
