Gabbs Volunteer Fire and the ambulance service remain the emergency layer between a highway wreck and a helicopter. Saturday’s drill at the hall is a training block, not a festival.

If you hear the tone-out during the drill window, it may still be real. Give them the road.

The Record will take local event listings for the hall, the VFW, the school, and the pool. File them from a valley account a week ahead of the weekly desk run.

National readers: if you crash on 361, you are waiting on this crew and then a long transfer. Wear the belt. Slow down for cows and dust.
