“So I am going to vent and I hope this makes it to one of our councilors or our mayor!!!

I apologize ahead of time for this but this needs to get out!! My mother woke with shortness of breath so my brother called 911. My mother started calling out for help not wanting to die and my brother called 911 again and then again. 3 times! NO one came!

My mom collapsed in my brother’s arms after over 30 min of no ambulance and being told by the New Bedford Fire Department that there are only 3 ambulances at night and all of them were busy in Freetown.

When the ambulance came, it was too late. OVER 30 F******MINUTES FOR A AMBULANCE ????????????

Oh and let me add this no police or fire dept until after the Freetown ambulance came!!!!”-Annmarie Edwards.
