“One lady was on the phone to the emergency control room. She was fantastic and calm and accurate with my information. One lady helped to maintain an open airway, one searched for some ID. A young first aider even came to help me.

“They were all brave and the community should know that these wonderful people live and work in their area. In a world full of bad daily occurrences they are owed a massive thank you.”
