CASTLE ROCK , Colo. — A Thanksgiving feast can bring in relatives from near and far or bring friends together to enjoy a meal of gratitude. First responders with Castle Rock Fire and Rescue know this holiday means a special meal with family members at the station, but that it could also bring more calls for help. 'Our population has grown significantly and with that, call volume increases significantly during the holiday times,' CRFD Battalion Chief Eric Morgenthaler said.
Several crew members highlighted the importance of pulling over when emergency vehicles need to get quickly to a scene. 'If we’re going to a fire, fire grows rapidly, so the quicker we can get there, the quicker that we can stop a fire or slow down the fire and get victims out,' CRFD paramedic, Aaron Crewse, said. 'If we're going to do a medical call, if somebody needs CPR or other advanced life support, it gets us there quicker, so we can provide treatments quicker.
