Editor: Re: Delta wasting money on increased medical training for firefighters, letter to the editor, Oct. 8 I am writing in response to the letter to the editor from Ian Hames who says Delta is wasting money on increased medical training for firefighters.
Our Delta firefighters are tremendous and worth every penny spent on their training.
Believe me, when you have a medical emergency and you call 911, those men and women respond within about three or four minutes in Tsawwassen, and probably the same in Ladner. They are trained and efficient, and compassionate as well.
When my husband was very ill with cancer a few years ago, I made multiple calls to which they responded speedily, and was I ever grateful.
With our increasing, and aging population, any further training they can get is money well spent.
