A copy of this letter was recently received by the BAVFC. The company is proud to thank FF/EMT Alex Wibirt, Paramedic Matt Hipley, FF/EMT Matt Cochran, FF Cadet Corry Shaffer, and FF/EMT Scott McNutt.
Chief,
I wish to commend five anonymous firemen/EMTs who noticed my vehicle stuck in a poorly plowed area on Hickory Avenue right in front of the fire house and, without being summoned, came to the aid of my wife and me. They threw their backs into trying to free our vehicle; when the initial effort failed, they retrieved a shovel from the house and cleared away enough snow that, with six of us pushing and my wife driving, our vehicle was freed. All in a day's work for the gentlemen, I'm sure, to the point that neither my wife nor I got any of their names. But I'm sure you can figure out who was on duty on Sunday, December 20, around 1:15-1:30 p.m., determine who our rescuers were and commend them accordingly.
Our thanks to those kind souls who saw someone in need of assistance and provided it without prompting or hesitation.
Thank you,
Kevin McNamara
Darlington
