911 service excellent
      I got up at 3:35 a.m. Monday, Oct. 5, to take an antibiotic. I looked out the kitchen window and saw a small blaze start. I immediately called 911. The 911 service is so perfectly excellent that the police were here in about 60 to 90 seconds, even before I had the hose on the water pipe.
