A proclamation was signed declaring the week of May 21st to the 27th EMS Week, and our local firefighters are grateful to the community for the recognition. Public Information Officer Nicholas Fleming gives more details. We do appreciate the community outpour and outreach. Usually people will come out and say thanks and usually just shake our hand and thank us for our service, and we appreciate that. But again, there's other EMS agencies in the county, and we want to thank them as well for the services they provide. We work hand in hand with them. Yeah, it's just a good time to reflect and look back at the services that are provided and look back at the community that we have. And they're always very welcoming and appreciative of the service. Each member of the fire department is committed to their job simply because it's their passion. Fleming also extends his thanks to the city officials for the proclamation. So here in the city we do receive a lot of appreciation from our community. It's not just during EMS Week. Usually on a weekly basis we have someone bring us food or say thanks or come by and just speak with us, and we always appreciate that. So I think we have the best community around, and it's obviously because of the community. The members, when they come to work, they love what they do, and of course they don't do it for the money or the benefits. They do it because they really care for the people out in the public, and they love providing care. The city was gracious enough to proclamation this week EMS Week for us, so we do want to say thanks to the city for providing that and recognizing us. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Collum.
