Dear Editor,

I do hope the citizens of Clanton realize what a wonderful group of men and women you have serving the city when paradmedics and firemen are needed.

I am an 86-year-old grandmother from Birmingham, living nearly five years at The Gardens assisted living facility. Many times they are needed here and seemingly the phone has just been put down, and they arrive to help.

They are prompt, professional, efficient and passionate. I don’t believe any group anywhere could be rated higher!

I’m grateful for them, and I thank them. Every citizen of Clanton should do the same. We are all safer because of them.

— Buella Lyon, Clanton
