Best Senior Services: Coral Gables Fire Rescue, The Angels in Red
Description
Coral Gables Fire Rescue is there when residents need help most, but for many of the city’s seniors, the department’s impact goes well beyond responding to an emergency. The men and women behind the familiar red trucks have earned a special place in the community through a combination of professional service, compassion and the simple kindness that can make an extraordinarily difficult moment a little easier.
Fire Rescue provides emergency medical services, fire suppression, rescue response and assistance during urgent situations throughout Coral Gables. For older residents in particular, firefighters and paramedics are often among the first people called when a medical emergency, fall or other unexpected situation occurs. Their ability to respond quickly while treating residents with patience, dignity and reassurance can make an enormous difference for seniors and their families.
That human side of the job is what stood out in the nomination submitted to the Gazette. The department was recognized for supporting seniors, helping those in need and providing excellent service, with the nominator describing how Fire Rescue helped turn a difficult situation into one marked by generosity, positivity and “amazing kindness.”
It is easy to think of Fire Rescue in terms of sirens, emergency vehicles and response times. Gableites who have needed their help know there is another side to the story. Behind every call is a resident, a family and often someone having one of the hardest days of their life. Bringing compassion to those moments is a service all its own.
For their commitment to protecting Coral Gables residents and the care they provide to seniors when it matters most, the Gazette recognizes Coral Gables Fire Rescue, The Angels in Red, for Best Senior Services.
