To the Editor:

With all the talk and hype of the COVID-19 illness I believe I found a feel-good story for the Warwick Beacon.

Having older parents I have had to use the Warwick Rescue service on many occasions. Living in Oakland Beach we have come to rely on and respect the job that are local firefighters are doing, especially the Oakland Beach fire station.

I had to have the rescue take my mother to the hospital for a fall and was greeted by the most professional group of guys that anyone could ask for. The reason I am writing is that we all know that our firefighters and first responders are on the front line dealing with this COVID-19 illness, and Warwick has had their fair share of these types of calls. But I was truly amazed by was that the rescue officer who took care of my mother is also in emergency room nurse.

I came to know this because I myself had to go to the emergency room for treatment and the nurse that took care of me was the rescue guy from the fire station. I just wanted to let you know that we have firefighters that are working as nurses and are on both sides of this front/battle. Figured this could be maybe a feel-good story in these trying times.

    Must be a great gig being able to have a taxpayer funded full time job , and then also having another full time job that you can manipulate your time from the taxpayer funded job to fulfill your obligations on your other job. What a country !!
