the firefighters were cute...I actually mentioned that to them.

I told them that I cant lift her, and since she said she was hurt, I figured that I'd "call the really cute firefighters to come and scoop her off the floor". One of the firefighters said "arent you sorry you got us then?" (as if they werent all cute...)

They were great. They helped her get up, then wrapped up her shoulder to stabilize it, and then helped her sit down on her rollator. I almost let them take her to the hospital, but an ambulance ride is so expensive, and I figured if I had to, I could probably get her into my car instead and drive her.

I noticed that they'd come from way far away from here. So, I'm guessing the city took the squad and engine that's just down the street from us out of service again...which explains the FIFTEEN MINUTE response time. (last time I called 911 for a possible fire, it took then 5 minutes to come from the station that's about a mile or two away)

I saw the numbers on the engine and the squad and they were from a station that's way south of here. Stupid city budget cuts.
