A life-saving ambulance volunteer has been sacked because he drove TOO FAST to answer a 999 call to a patient who had collapsed and was unable to breathe.
First Responder Godfrey Smith was driving a high visibility ambulance Land Rover, but was told he was being dismissed because he drove a 33mph in a 20mph zone.
The stunned 64-year-old, who has been saving lives by being first on the scene of serious incidents for 15 years, said he was told he had lost his job because he had 'breached road traffic law.'
Gof is a much respected and much loved member of the community and the whole town is campaigning to get him reinstated.
