Flashing Red Lights

 Flashing Red Lights
Wednesday night my friend John and I were drivers on the van route to pick up kids for evening services at our church. As we started to leave the parking lot, an emergency fire truck came into the lot with it’s red overheadd lights flashing. It turned around fight in front of us and parked.
I looked at John and he looked at me wondering what was happening, He shrugged his shoulder and we left. As we drove in front of the church, our Pastor and other people on the front porch expressed that they had no idea as well. We left to pick up the two young boys who needed a ride to attend the evening service. They have been faitthfully attending. John and I wanted to be sure that we weren’t late in picking them up.
At a road to the community of Bear Rocks, we saw another emergency firetruck with its lights flashing parked at the opening of the road. I glanced past it down the road and saw several private vehicles of volunteer firemen with their blue lights flashing. I saw in their midst a state police vehicle as well. John and I were wondering what was going on, but we drove on. We had kids to collect and didn’t want to be late
As we drove down Kreinbrook Hill road, a state police SUV with its red lights flashing came speeding upward to the area that we’d just left. It almost clipped the front fender of our church van. Again John and I were wondering what was going on to cause all the furor.
We picked up the boysat their homes and began to return to church with the boys fastened in their seat belts. I fully expected to point out the confusion of the flashing lights and emergency vehiccles, but I was disappointed. The street was empty. No lights and no vehicles.
We drove the van into the church parking lot. No wonder the street into Bear Rocks ans bare, they were all at the church aand had gained anotherr policce car and several ambulances. There was a plethors of flashing red lights.
At the back of our church is a large field that the church owns, mows, and maintains for outdoor games. The emergency squads decided to land the medical helicopter there to pick up a person who had been in a quad vehicle accident. We parked the van and hustled the boys inside. Slowly the parking lot emptied after the helicopter collected their patient.
