Life Savers on the Move

A few days ago we had an interesting visitor who arrived in a very special vehicle which was of particular interest to our Chief Mechanic, Blue Bear. This fine vehicle, a Ford Focus, was a brand new First Responder vehicle which will whisk an amazing band of volunteers off to local medical emergencies. As the area where we live is so rural, it can take a long time for paramedics to arrive, and the nearest hospitals are an hour's drive away, so these First Responders, who quite literally do what the badge says, and turn up and save lives until the paramedics arrive, are absolutely vital.


We all think the First Responders are terrific people. We hope we don't need their services, but we're glad they're there in case we do need them.

We hope that the new vehicle, which will be with whoever is on duty at any time, will be very useful. We certainly hope that by providing visibility it will enable them to get to incidents more quickly. They're not allowed to have blue flashing lights, but the car does have orange flashing lights which were turned on especially for us when we went out to have a look round the car.

After we'd finished posing for this picture, Blue Bear was allowed to go on a test drive. He was very relieved that an emergency call didn't come in while he was out driving.

Lots of love, Eddie, Charlie, Henry, Blue Bear and all at Bears Unlimited xxx
