While the rescue squad was on a house fire, a citizen walked into the firehouse with her husband having chest pains.  Chief White and Fireman Poole quickly took actions with providing care and transporting the patient in Ambulance 27 to a local hospital.  A job well done by Chief White and Fireman Poole. The quick actions by these members shows the great leadership here at Morningside.
