Great news and special thanks to our HOA president, Greg Hatch.
Greg
has had several discussions with Captain Miller at the fire station here at
Brighton in a persistent effort to get emergency services available for our
home owners. Captain Miller notified us this weekend that the fire station has
made one more step towards providing us with emergency response. They now have
a 6 wheeler stocked with medical supplies and a stoke stretcher (see below). He said that
if our neighborhood had a medical emergency they can now respond on our plowed
roads with the 6 wheeler and bring the person out to an ambulance in the stoke
stretcher and back board if needed. He said that crews have already come into
the neighborhood to test it out and had no trouble negotiating our roads
including the Windflower hill. The Brighton fire station is just
beginning to develop plans to respond to emergencies in our canyon, and
the 6 wheeler is a first step, but Greg is working towards getting a small
pumper and ambulance (equipped with tire chains) in the neighborhood.
