photography and rant from the middle of europe
SDIS is the abbreviation (french is full of abbreviations..) for the “Service Départemental d’incendie et de secours”, the emergency services.
When we came into Cruseilles this morning, there was a scooter crashed on the right side of the road, a boy sitting on the roadside and an adult consoling him – we stopped and we were the first on site. The adult wanted to take a left turn with his car (a small bus) and the boy came up with his scooter – the black ice let him slip, the scooter crashed in the bus and the driver fell on the ground.
He got hurt, but not a lot, mostly scratches on the hands and the ego.
First time to call the emergency services in France then for me – as opposed to my experiences in germany, I had an immediate response and a couple of minutes later the ambulance rushed in.
I hope the week continues in a less dramatic fashion.
