First responders help those in trouble. They get called to a scene, handle that call, and then it’s off to the next one.
Rarely do those calls come full circle. Rarely do rescuers get to know how things ultimately turn out.
A recent surprise visit by the Graham family bucks that trend and allowed one fire department in Iredell County to look back on a recent call and see how they saved lives.
Thank yous don’t come often for firefighters, EMTs, or any other person part of a rescue squad. So, it was quite the surprise for the Cool Springs Fire department when the Graham family showed up to hand-deliver a plaque in honor of the work crews did to save the lives of four people.
All four were relatives, found in a mangled truck on Mocksville Highway two weeks ago.
“Big shout out to the Cool Springs Fire Department,” said Jahri Hairston, who was in the accident.
