As soon as this happened and the coronavirus started to spread and the word got out that people were going to be initially1 sequestered2 at home,and the vulnerable population, our seniors, 65 and older and those with medical, vulnerable medical conditions were going to be remanded home prior to everybody being home,we really wanted to encourage our seniors and those who shouldn't be outside, to stay inside.And so, we thought, why don't we try to help them by providing essential needs and going to the grocery store, picking up their medicine, delivering it to them.Remember to keep your social distance from these people.We are trying to not get them sick.So, wear a mask.If you don't have one, grab one before you go.Wear gloves if you'd like to.I work upstairs in dispatch.So, I never had to wear one of these.We take the order the day prior.The next morning, we have volunteers, people that are coming in on their day off and are going to the store,shopping for them and then delivering it to those seniors.We've helped 60 seniors throughout our community so far.The service isn't free.We are not buying your groceries for you.We do front the money.Our Glendale Fire Foundation gave us money to be able to buy groceries upfront and then when we deliver them,the senior or the person with a medical condition pays us for the groceries we've bought.So, it doesn't cost them anything other than what we bought for them.On my list here, I have spinach3, asparagus, pineapple.You've got to remember that you're touching4 things with your gloves and so you have to get new gloves every so often too, you know, because if you keep touching things, it's just going to keep on infecting everything with your dirty gloves.So, it's smart to carry around like the hand sanitizer and use it often and stuff like that.Eggplant, broccoli5, mushrooms, dry lentil beans, salsa and vegetable broth6.And it looks like they are going to make some soup.Oh yeah, the vanilla7 ice cream! That's the most important thing.Do you want Dreyers or regular? Oh, Dreyers for sure. Yeah.Gotta get the good stuff

在新冠病毒开始传播时,就有消息说人们最初要在家隔离,而且弱势群体,包括65岁以上的老年人,以及哪些需要医疗的人要比其他人提前进行居家隔离。我们真的想呼吁老年人不要待在外面,应该呆在室内。于是,我们想着可以尝试为他们提供必需品以及去杂货店并取药派送,来帮助他们。记得和这些人保持社交距离。我们努力不让他们患病。所以,要戴口罩。如果你没有口罩,在这里取了之后再去。如果你想也可以戴手套。我在楼上的调度处工作。所以我从来没戴过口罩。我们在前一天接受订单。第二天早上,会有志愿者过来,他们都是休息日过来帮忙的,他们会去商店,给老年人买好东西然后送到家里。目前,我们帮助了整个社区的60名老年人。服务不是免费的。我们不会为你去购买在杂货店的东西。在买之前我们会收到钱。我们的格兰代尔消防基金会会提前给我们钱,然后我们去杂货店买东西,之后送到他们家里,然后老年人或需要医疗的人就会把买东西的钱给我们。所以,他们只需要支付我们为他们购买商品的费用。在我的清单上,要买菠菜,笋子和菠萝。你要记住,你要用手套触碰这些东西,所以一定要勤换手套,你知道因为如果你一直碰这些东西,你脏手套上的细菌会占到所有东西上。所以,随身带洗手液是很明智的,可以经常消毒。茄子,西兰花,蘑菇,干扁豆,沙拉和蔬菜汤。看起来他们要做汤。香草冰淇淋!那是最重要的。你是要Dreyer的还是一般的?肯定是Dreyer的啊。要买好的。

He's got nothing but, like cleaning supplies. And ice cream.My dad was a firefighter.My sister is in law-enforcement but I am totally afraid of blood.Being able to dispatch, I get to help people and I don't have to see blood or deal with any of that.Hi maam! Is this Donalds caretaker?Hi, it's the Glendale Fire Department.I know you had said that you weren't going be there until 10:30, but Donald asked for ice cream and we don't want it to melt and so, we were wondering if we were able to drop it off now?She said he won't understand that he needs to pay and write a check.And so, she said shell try to get there around 10:10.So, he might just have some melted ice cream.That's the big thing about dispatches.We are on the phone with these people.We're helping8 them give CPR, but we never find out the outcome.We are always...So, its nice to be able to physically9 be here and help.You are a blessing10, believe me. I thank God for you. Glad we could be here.So basically, it's only me and my wife that I see.I don't go to any of my brothers houses or my family members houses.I don't see anybody anymore.For me that's tough because I come from a rather large family and we do family gatherings11 on a weekly basis.When I go home, I'll have to quarantine myself from my son for a couple days.So, I am not going to be able to see him.So, just like everybody else, I am trying to do my part to limit the spread of this disease.We were wondering, are you making soup tonight?Yeah, I thought lentil soup sounded like a very good thing. There you go....especially since the weather...The rain comin...To be honest, since I was a child, I've always wanted to be a firefighter.And that's pretty much all I ever knew.So, like there is just something about being a firefighter that just drew me.The big equipment, the going into fires, helping people.All that stuff just played into who I am as a person and who I wanted to be.

他只买了清洁用品。还有冰淇淋。我爸爸是个消防员。我姐姐在执法部门工作,但是我这个人很怕血。能够在调度中心,我可以帮助人们,我不必见血或处理相关事情。您好,女士!请问您是唐纳德的看护人吗?嗨,这是格伦代尔消防局。我知道你说过要10:30去那,但是唐纳德要冰淇淋,我们不想它化了,所以,所以我们能不能现在就给您呢?她说唐纳德不知道他需要付款和开支票了。所以,她说她尽量在10:10分来取。那冰淇淋肯定会融化一点了。这是调度环节的大事。我们和那些人电话联系。我们帮他们做心肺复苏,但我们永远也不知道结果。我们总是...觉得能够在这儿切实帮助别人真的很好。你们简直是我的福气,相信我,上帝保佑你们。我们很荣幸。所以现在只有我的妻子和我在一起。我不去我兄弟家或其他家人的那里串门。我不会再见任何人。对我来说这很难,因为我来自一个很大的家庭,以前我们每周都要家庭聚会。当我回家的时候,我要自我隔离好几天,不能见我的儿子。所以,我不会去见他。所以,就像其他人一样,我也在做好我的工作,帮助限制这场疫情的传播。我们想知道你们家今晚要做汤吗?是啊,我觉得扁豆汤不错。东西给你。特别因为马上要下雨了。老实说,我从小就想成为一名消防员。这是我一直以来的梦想。所以,消防员这个职业就像有一种魔力,深深吸引了我。那些大型设备进入拯救生命。所有这些都影响到我是一个怎样的人以及我想成为怎样的人。
