On the night of March 21, 2012 first responders were called to our driveway to attend to a two vehicle accident involving nine people.
The speed in which the police department, fire department, ambulance service and towing service got there was amazing.
It is a comforting feeling knowing that people will drop what they are doing to help someone out.
I was also equally impressed with our local hospital.
The nurses, doctor and the radiologist who was called in to look after and assess all of us did so with such care and efficiency.
Three of us needed further care in Prince George we needed to be transported to Prince George Regional Hospital. The ambulance service from Fraser Lake came to get me and drove me to the Vanderhoof hospital.
It was amazing how four different communities came together to provide me the level of medical care I needed. Through everything that has happened, I have a greater sense of community. One that extends beyond our town limits and spills into our neighboring community.
Say what you want about small town living, but it is sure a comforting feeling knowing that when you need help, you know the men and women who are rushing to get to you.
