Thanks and compliments to Lower Twp emergency response teams. Concerned that an odor from our launcry room could be a gas leak, I called 911 on Christmas Day. The operator's response, "Please clear the house, and help is on the way," was very reassuring. The team of police, fire and EMT personnel arrived quickly, checked the house; told us it was not gas and that we could re-enter. These professionals were competent, empathetic and caring. They assured me that being safe rather than sorry was a good thing every day of the year. We in Lower are fortunate to be protected by these heroes.
