Extraordinary Service
Not a lot of people are aware that when first responders arrived to render assistance to the Andrews family at 22 Mountain Laurel Road in Fairfield, the roads were very icy, that is why schools had a two hour delay. Two firetrucks that provided EMS services were stuck leaving the scene. Four ambulances were dispatched, all called in the slippery conditions. They departed for local hospitals before the requested sand truck arrived. One ambulance did get stuck but they all worked above and beyond the call of duty to get their patients the care they needed. They also handled two other calls in Fairfield while all this was going on. How about some likes for the job they did?!!
