The fire department and rescue squad up in Beecher Falls are, in fact, the first responders for East Hereford and St. Herminegild (I do not vouch for the latter spelling) up across the border, because the nearest Canadian EMS is in Coaticook. Beecher Falls is 10 minutes away at highway speeds, while Coaticook is 24 miles off. As as you know, Bob, in EMS a difference of 14 minutes can be critical.
