[W2CRA] Example of team work

[Douglas]

Not that this is super special but I thought worth sharing....

At about 1:30 am I was awoke but the sound of Fire Trucks out back of my 
building.I found out that there was a building on fire so I grabbed my 
radio and went out,my radio has the RX for the county EMS and Dispatch 
and the Lambertville Fire 9 with TX which they are aware of. The Chief 
has an issue right off the bat units that did not have Fire 9 and were 
not answering on the County Channel. He saw me and put me in to use as a 
liaison for New Hope 46 Fire and general aid.

It was ashame 4 familys lost there home but after it was out the OEM 
director for Lambertville left with out contacting Red Cross so I 
stepped up and informed the Chief I had a contact due to ARES. Just and 
example of how a little help goes a long way. For those that don't know 
I served 22 years as a volunteer in NJ till 2006 when I was injured.

It is nice to be involved in a hobby that can help others and in tough 
situation help take a load off someone who can be tasked with more 
important work.
