Response to rollover was amazing effort

I witnessed an extraordinary event Jan. 8, that has created a new respect for the men and women of our emergency personnel. Our volunteer fire departments, AA Young and Griswold, responded to a liquid gas truck turnover off Route 138 that could have potentially caused an explosion, taking lives and property.

While as a citizen I have always respected our emergency personnel and their departments, as first selectman I was on site for nearly three hours, and saw firsthand the courage, dedication and professionalism demonstrated by our people.

To Griswold Ambulance, the State Police and all responding neighboring towns who send their emergency personnel, Griswold sincerely thanks you all.
