Health care workers get their own parade
First responders salute to staff at Lutheran
ASHLEY SLOBODA | The Journal Gazette
Nobody needed saving in the fire trucks and ambulances lined up outside Lutheran Hospital just after sunset Monday, but the vehicles' lights flashed, and their sirens wailed as a visual and audible salute to the health care workers inside.
First responders from across the county were invited to participate in the parade to boost the hospital employees' spirits as they continue to treat COVID-19 patients, said Brian Gillett, Washington Township Fire Department chief.
Firefighters and medics staged a similar parade in the spring, but this time Santa Claus waved from an Aboite Fire Department truck leading the procession.
