Luckily for me, the firemen strolled leisurely to one of the townhouses across the street. Peering down to the left, I saw an EMT truck. I guess the firemen were just there for moral support. Eventually, they brought a person out on a stretcher and transferred them to a gurney and then into the EMT truck. I don't know the people who live in the condo they went into.
And I forgot to keep looking for the yarn....

Yikes!! Always a startling sight...
Oh thank god I'm not the only living-room-window-gawker! Hope neighborperson was OK!
Bezzie, Janna and I grew up in a family that would jump in the car and FOLLOW the fire truck. So really, gawping out the window is mild. ;)
Janna, you should've grabbed a fireman for Jody! :)
or you could have grabbed one for me too!
My first thought would have been - SH*T - which tub of yarn do I throw out the window first?!? (Think about it, it would cushion the jump for you once you were ready to go - AND - it would save the stash too!!)
Around here for any emergency (well in my little town) you'll have a fire engine show up, several police cars, a guy in a white pickup truck, the ambulance, another emergency vehicle, and at least 10 local volunteers.
Years ago when I lived in Battle Creek Michigan a fire truck pulled up in front of the house across the street. The woman who lived there called emergency because she had a bat in the house.
The firemen took care of the poor little creature for her and I was left to wondering why I was the type of woman who got rid of my own bats (caught them with a fishnet and took them outdoors) and never would have dreamed of calling for professional help.
