I had just picked my child from preschool which was a few blocks away so we normally walked to and from school, but as we were walking home with our child telling me all about her day, a man in a motorcycle sped past us at an entirely high speed. Before I could process what was happening, I heard screams, then looking ahead I saw a girl sprawled on the road. She had been hit by the speeding rider and he instantly took off, then there was blood all around her and before we could dial the emergency number a home services truck stopped beside us. A woman who I assumed was a heating corporation dashed out and asked me to help him get the girl in the truck so that we could rush him to the hospital. The girl was instantly rushed to the emergency room and her dad arrived shortly after and that is when we left, but promised to call him to find out how the girl was doing. As we were driving back the man told me he was a heating serviceman working for the local heating corporation and at the time of the accident, he was on his way to do annual maintenance of a dual fuel system.I asked him what it entailed and he explained that the plan has a furnace and an electric heat pump and therefore needed a furnace/heater tune-up and heat pump service. I also found out he was the same guy who was supposed to deliver our furnace filter and maintenance the gas supply to our fireplace. We discussed other types of heating devices such as a smart or digital control unit that could help with indoor comfort.
