BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Rural neighborhoods in northeast Leon county have more emergency services on the way.
Neighbors living off of Centerville Road and Pisgah Church Road told me they’re happy to hear an ambulance station is going in down the street.
One of those neighbors is Eddy Crockett. He has seen his part of northeast Leon County grow over the years.
“We were the only people in Baker Place for four, five years. Now, I think there’s 104 in here,” Crockett said.
With a background as an ambulance driver, pharmacist and physician, he knows more than most about how more emergency services are needed.
“One accident that is strong in my mind was when it involved 14 people,” Crockett said. “Luckily, we were there quickly but we had to transport them 20 miles.”
