SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily News/Letter to the Editor "A sheriff’s gratitude"

"Editor:

Some people say the best way to test a service or product is to use it.

Unfortunately, last Thursday night Marcy and I had the opportunity to test the service of public safety in Pitkin County. A defective furnace filled the upstairs of the house with smoke. Marcy called 911 and within minutes the Aspen Police Department, the Aspen Volunteer Fire Department and Aspen Ambulance responded to our home.

For over 30 years I have seen these people at work. However, it’s different when your life, home and property is at risk.

I’ve always known how competent and professional all of our public safety agencies are. This time I got to test the product as a customer.

I am more confident than ever this community has very dedicated, prepared professionals serving us. We want to say thank you to all of our public safety professionals.

(Marcy DiSalvo and sheriff Joe DiSalvo, Aspen)
