Around the corner from my place this morning at 8 o’clock there was an emergency call that included a ladder truck, a paramedic, and an ambulance. A few minutes after their arrival, the whole neighborhood was shaken by the arrival of this Fire Department helicopter as it landed in the school athletic field that is directly across the street from my place. I heard it coming in, grabbed my camera and ran outside!

They loaded a patient into the chopper and took off rather quickly. I hope the patient is going to be OK.
