Woman reunited with firefighters 5 years after crash in Adams County nearly took her life
VIDEO: December will mark the five-year anniversary of a hit-and-run crash on North Washington Street and 73rd Ave. in Adams County near Boyer’s Coffee that almost claimed the life of Christine Gerry. It took firefighters and first responders nearly a half hour to extract Gerry from her badly mangled vehicle— and even after she was out, her chances of survival looked bleak. But 65 surgeries and five years later, she is alive and finally able to thank the Adams County firefighters who helped save her life. “They told us you were going to cry,” one firefighter said as Gerry walked into Adams County Fire Rescue Station 11. “I am going to cry,” Gerry said as she hugged nearly a dozen firefighters and first responders who gathered to greet her.

They chose David Wolf for this new role, which will support collaborative projects including responding to wildland fire, water rescue and hazmat, as well as unmanned aviation and technology integration. “For the last three years, the two agencies have worked hard to open up opportunities to work together collaboratively and improve how we provide service to our community,” Chief Seth St. Germain of Grand Lake Fire stated in the news release.
