Today is National First Responders Day, and in Alabama it is official.
Team Wilson worked to secure a proclamation from the Governor recognizing October 28th as National First Responders Day across our state. Benji and Sarah Wilson spent the morning in Times Square for the Roll Call of Heroes with the First Responders Children's Foundation, where SERVPRO was a proud sponsor.
Jon Stewart hosted, reading each honoree's story before their medal. One was a firefighter from Texas who was out on a boat with his twelve year old daughter on the Fourth of July when another boat capsized. He pulled three kids from the water and resuscitated two of them.
That is who this day is for. Our crews show up after the worst has already happened. Firefighters, police officers, and EMS show up while it is still happening.
To every first responder in Alabama and beyond, thank you.
