Tell us about the first responder and how they serve the community.
Sylvia is the most loving and caring person I know. She works for EMS out of Port Lavaca. Even when she is not at work she is always ready to respond to an emergency. She also does volunteer work several times a year in Rosenberg in first aid for large conventions. Sylvia is always looking for ways to help others, and is not afraid to put herself out there in an emergency. I have even seen her stop on the side of the road when there was an accident to make sure help is rendered until EMS arrives.
