Thanks to our firefighters
I want to sincerely thank the Pierce County Fire Department for the care they gave me during a recent emergency.
On Aug. 30, I went hiking on the Carbon River Rim Trail near Tehaleh with my dogs. A slip on loose gravel left me with a badly broken ankle, alone on the trail. I called 911, and from that moment, the professionalism and compassion I received was extraordinary.The emergency communicator kept me calm and reassured until paramedics arrived nearly 45 minutes later. When they did, they not only stabilized my injury with skill and confidence but also handled my two large dogs with such kindness that I immediately felt safe and cared for.
Thanks to their teamwork, I made it safely to the hospital and am now on the road to recovery. I’m deeply grateful for their service…
