Roofing Day 2 - EMTs & Prayers

Today started out normal with the rear of the house stripped in about 2 hours.

After their 1st rest break, Elly heard a noise and saw their 13 year old helper running by.  Elly went outside and found that a worker had fallen off the ladder and was laying on the patio unconscious and bleeding.  Elly took the cell phone from the workers who had already dialed 911 to speak to the dispatcher and communicate the workers condition.  The other workers had all they could do to keep the fallen man still & not moving.  The Sterling EMTs arrived in less than 5 minutes, place the injured worker on the stretcher and had him on the way to the UMass Trauma Center in less than 3 minutes.  Our prayers are with him and his family.

 These EMTs are good!  I should know as this happened to me in 2010 and I and still alive and kicking.  Hope the roofers end result is similar to mine.


Needless to say, no more work was going to be done today!
