00:23Now, tonight we honour paramedics from C-CAM, who have gone above and beyond in their service.

00:32The nominees say, and I quote,

00:34After answering a 999 call for my son, who had taken a drug overdose,

00:40they treated us with compassion and have since stayed in touch to help us raise awareness.

00:46They organised an ambulance to attend one of our fundraisers, bringing joy and support to the event.

00:53Furthermore, they have volunteered their time to be filmed discussing drug awareness for our workshop,

01:00helping us reach countless young people with our important message.

01:05So their commitment to supporting our community is truly commendable.

01:10So the winners tonight, ladies and gentlemen, are the Community Hero Award for Emergency Services,
