Well said, we dont realise how valuable they are until we need them.

My husband and son were involved in a serious accident 13 years ago where my car in which they (which they had borrowed) were travelling got wedged under an articulated lorry. Naturally the car was written off, but luckily they survived.
All of the emergency services were fantastic, especially when I drove down the same road in my husbands car, and saw my registration plate lying next to the mangled wreck which was my car!

Anyone involved in those jobs is a hero, nothing less.
