Dear Editor:Within the last two months my wife had to call 911 twice as I had severe chest pains. The response time was awesome. In a very short time period the troops arrived, checked my vitals and transported me to Downey Regional Medical Center. My wife and I are very grateful for the fast and qualified crews serving Downey. Our neighbor needed to call 911 last week for his ailing elderly wife. Again the response was very fast and efficient. Downey should be proud of having such great service for the citizens of Downey. Dieter Oltersdorf Downey
