Reply To: SHOVEL YOUR SNOW.. Shabbos or NOT!!!

Maybe in Brooklyn its different, but here every year Hatzolah has a fundrasing campaign and they say their budget is about $5 Million dollars and each call they answer costs about $200-$300

Now some calls cost more than others like if they have to use a defibulator and my call probably cost less and all they had to do was carry me to the ambulance , drive to the hospital and give me a blanket (They dont re-use blankets)

It does seem many here do not understand what the ice that I fell on looked like. It did not look like a Sakana until you actually stepped on it. It looked like snow but was really packed ice. When people constantly step on snow and its not removed, it becomes ice, but it looks like snow.

The owner has admitted it was his fault, He told me his was sorry and should have done better.
