We Met Superman.

"Whatever humans have learned had to be learned as a consequence of only trial and error experience, humans have learned through mistakes."

Good Morning!

What a treat today!
In the four years I have been a member, I have never had the opportunity to hear a member of the BC Ambulance Service speak...
This morning, we had Tony Fryer speak to us not as a member of Chilliwack Search and Rescue, but as an Advance Life Support Paramedic.
Interesting fact that Tony shared- it was our own Brian C that helped him to the path to become a Paramedic.
We also heard how closely Paramedics work with the Fire Department,  Police, Doctors and Hospitals.
We heard how Chilliwack had over 20,000 calls last year with 6-8 Paramedics on each shift. Our ground ambulances travel more then 2 million kms a year. We heard about the challenge that our 'local' commute times cause.
When we got to ask questions, we learned that one day Tony got to be Superman to a little boy, and helped him cope with the situation at hand.
So we met a true Superman today!

Thank you Tony for all you do for our community!

Even with all the craziness Chilliwack deals with we are so lucky to have our first responders and other groups that are all about making Chilliwack a better place. Thank you to all of you!
See you next week,
Michelle
