First Responder Goes by the Way-Side

Fort Blackmore Fire Department had a first responder vehicle and EMT's to man the fire deparment.  When our EMS ticket ran out, we had no OMD.  Our OMD did not have his VA EMS OMD certificate.  Therefore, we were waiting for the Doctor to recertify.  During that interlude, we got another OMD to sign for us, but our time period had run out.  Therefore, VA EMS for South Western Virginia decided to drop us from our certificate.  Also, manpower became slim and far between.  Our heart was there, but the timing was all bad.
