Ansonia EMTs Go Above & Beyond in Heat Wave

Sharing Information from City of Ansonia's Facebook Page:

ANSONIA - ARMS member Krystle Bieber did a little something extra special today. While on a call last week, she attended to a patient in an extremely hot second floor apartment for an unrelated medical issue. The woman’s air conditioner had broken and the heat was unbearable in the apartment.
Today, Krystle and her brother Billy (also an ARMS member) delivered an air conditioner to this woman that they had at their home and wasn’t being used. Billy installed the unit in the woman’s window for her and got the cool air flowing; she was so appreciative.
Just another example of the amazing and selfless people we have working here.
