Richmond - The Editor I understand the men and women of Richmond Fire-Rescue have been in their halls waiting for a call and I did not call them.I am comforted to know that if I had needed them they were there, ready, waiting to help anytime of the day or night.I also did not call the RCMP and I know they were there, driving around looking for trouble, so that trouble would not find me or my family.Last but not least, a long-time friend did call the BC Ambulance Service about a year ago when he was having a heart attack. It was their response and intervention that saved my friend's life.I don't think I have to say any more than that about the Paramedics in BC.To the folks I have mentioned, I know you were waiting for my call, I am not sorry I did not call. I hope I don't call you in 2014 and thanks for being by the phone just in case.Merry Christmas and a safe New Year!Scott StewartRichmond
