Like rescue a kitten from a tree!! Or assist a lost child in finding his parents. What you did to me was I feel far from your job as a firefighter. I live alone very near your station. This past week it took me a couple of days to gather up enough nerve to call 911 and request an ambulance. I had been very sick from a major surgery I had a few days before. The surgery had been very difficult because it was on soft tissue and required a tube to drain fluids from inside my body. Two days before my call the fluid had turned from normal pink to brown then green! It was 4:00AM when I realized the change to green. I knew I had developed a very bad infection because not only the color had changed but it had a sickening odor. My daughter has planned to visit the day before and I had planned to ask her to take me to the ER. She canceled. I had had a similar experience many years ago and knew I came close to dying. So I decided I had to make this call for an ambulance. I am 80 yrs old and this is the first time in 80 years I have requested an ambulance. I was dressed with my purse waiting at the door. Suddenly 4 men entered my apartment full of powerful control! The smallest walked to the door of my bedroom and looked in. The others walked in different areas of the room. I was about to ask if they had a wheelchair for me but before I could they began a line of questions about my health. One took my blood pressure. One checked my heart rate! Then I was told they were not from the ambulance but they were the fire department. First they had to evaluate my need for an ambulance before they would call. I tried to explain. I had two cups of fluid - one pink and one green I was taking with me to the ER. I had a long line from my body to my lap where I held the bulb draining the fluids from me. The smallest guy told me I have no fever, my BP is normal, my heart rate is perfect! But they continue to ask personal questions even about what meds I take! I had had enough! I loudly said, "Leave my house! Leave now! Get Out!!". I believe one was about to speak with concern but the little short guy jumped in cutting him off saying, "Go! Let's Go!" I went to bed in tears. I knew I was wrong to allow this to hurt me so much. I was not going to allow them to kill me! I stopped crying and dialed 911 a SECOND TIME! I requested please just ambulance but was told "No. I had to first see the fireman"! I thought to myself "this time you can handle them"!! The door opened and I immediately asked if they were from the fire department. A very tall, very kind man said,"Yes we are but we are not the ones who were here before.". They could not have been better, more helpful towards me. The ambulance was waiting and they pushed me sitting on my walker to the elevator and to the ambulance door. There was no room for the walker so they took it back to my apartment door after the ambulance pulled away. On arrival I was taken immediately to a room and within the first two hours I had IV antibiotics of three different kinds. They could not wait for the lab to determine the name of bacteria so they were doing their best. The tubes were cut and fresh fluid was put in test tubes for the laboratory. I was taken for a CT. Finally seven hours later I was told I had a very severe wound infection. I was sent home with two oral antibiotics after having had the three IV antibiotics on arrival. They actually ordered Lyft to take me home but only after giving me a food voucher for the cafe. My weight had been 86 but in the past few days it had decreased to 81. It was such a nice feeling to know someone cares. The firemen save lives no doubt but I seriously fear they also take a few each year and I came very close to being in that group! They should not be allowed or requested to judge who needs medical help and who does not. They do not have the required knowledge to do such a thing! I pray this will change very soon. It could not be more wrong! Why do people not understand?

This is the test center for commercial drivers. Meaning there should be testing conducted from 7:30AM to 4PM, but that would mean the examiners are doing their jobs. Places like this office are why DMV employees need to be paid based on their production and not on them just showing up and getting thru 9 hours of the day. Too many times I saw examiners finish an exam early and go inside for 45 minutes to an hour before they reappear. Meanwhile there are 4 or 5 people that are waiting on standby to test and maybe 2 or 3 of them will. The 2 or more standby testees will have to come back another day because these people aren't paid to produce, they're paid to show up.

This is the West Sacramento Commercial DMV , you've probably never heard of it. It's a DMV only…read moreaccessible to you if you possess a commercial drivers license. For years this was the best DMV for truck drivers as you could handle all of your dmv paperwork and licensing quickly and efficiently without the long lines of a traditional DMV. I used to be able to get in and out within 30 minutes. Last month this DMV rolled out a numbering system (take a number and wait for it to be called) prior to this you just walked up to the counter when you arrived. Since the new numbering system has rolled out, the lines and wait times are creeping closer to traditional DMV wait times. I waited for 2 hours the other day for 15 numbers to be called. Granted 2 hours is normal at a traditional dmv. This DMV does not offer inside cooled seating (I know , tough life right? ) their waiting is all outside, mostly in shade, but on a 105 degree day, it's still quite miserable. All and all customer service is pretty good here! I just hope they can add some new agents to assist with lines and outside wait times. I give this DMV 3 stars, last year they easily would've earned 5 stars. I'll be back.

Adj: amazing community creativity center!…read more After the amazing Yelp Elite event here last year, I haven't had time to return. However, recently I had a project that I needed help with and are wrecking my brains, I realized that Community Shop Class (CSC for short bc I'm all about acronyms) could probably help me out. Thankfully this was just the weekend when CSC hosts it's once monthly Oak Park fix it Cafe. So with hopeful thoughts in my heart, I brought my project and my family here to check it out and get some practical help. My daughter remembers CSC from the Yelp event (where we were allowed to bring a plus+1) and she was very happy to get to check it out again and it would be a first for my hubby and son. We were welcomed upon arrival by a volunteer who gave me an intake form so the fix it volunteers can diagnose my project with a problem and set me up with the right fix it person. Not long after I was directed towards the sewing room, and then Chad the founder and owner came by and introduced himself and when I mentioned the Yelp event, his eyes lit up and he said that was one of the best events he's ever hosted bc of everyone's enthusiasm and the community brought together. I totally agree!! Turns out Chad was the one who was about to fix my project and he taught me how to use certain equipment and then I was set free to work on my project. He also told me about new classes for older kids that are almost ready to be launched so I'll definitely be back with my kids for them to take classes here. Chad is truly a caring and big hearted person who's given so much to this community in the Oak Park neighborhood as well as in the greater South Sac area. Afterwards, we walked around and chatted with some of the fix it volunteers and also checked out the new changes and innovative new spaces and offerings. They have great outdoors space here too with nice pergola covered seating out front and some veggie planters. In addition, You can take all kind of classes here and their membership is very affordable with long hours starting with 7-10a coffee time together and then it's open most days till 6 or 7p except it's closed Sunday and Monday. In short, I highly recommend checking out Shop Class for all your maker space needs and as an excellent place for all your creative outlets!!

There are always people with repair skills in here that can work their magic and pull repairs out of the air on common household items, electronics, clothing, and pretty much anything and everything you can think of as long as it's not a huge item. In addition, this is also a community creative maker space for those who want to make stuff. You can print 3D items whether practical or for play, record your own podcast or song in their studio, and even make or fix a bike. All for a low monthly membership price, and there are also classes to take for 3D printing and more. There are also special classes especially for older kids to hone their life skills and to enhance their art and crafts and creative repertoire. All in all, an truly inspiring story of how Chad the founder and owner of Shop Class started this amazing community workshop, and how he and an army of community volunteers continue to pour into the immediate surrounding neighborhood as well as the greater Sac community with their monthly Fix-it Cafe, daily coffee time from 7-10 and then the rest of their day is open for creative and meaningful business.

They should invest in some of these. I was also frustrated at the lack of power outlets in the conference rooms and common areas. People we huddle around two or three outlets which is challenging for hearings that can go 8 hours or more. Yes the building is pretty, but it's out dated and needed some TLC.

The ballroom has large windows overlooking the Aquatics Complex, which gives the space a bright, open feel. The private dressing room was included in the rental, and it was a huge plus. It was perfect for storing personal items and stepping away when needed. The room included its own sink, mini fridge, clothing rack, shelves, a table with four chairs, and a small sofa. The center provides a sound system with a microphone and TVs for presentations. The restrooms were clean, and parking was plentiful, shared with the Aquatics Complex. Big shout out to the onsite staff who made the day run smoothly. They were excellent! Brian, Maria, and Amy were helpful, professional, and friendly! However, there are some real downsides: Renting the kitchen, patio, or grass area costs extra, which feels excessive--especially the kitchen, which should really be included with a ballroom rental. Communication was the biggest issue. Bernal handled most of the rental coordination and was extremely difficult to reach & there wasn't a backup coordinator to communicate with. Emails were not answered in a timely manner, phone calls went straight to a messaging system and you cannot leave a message. We repeatedly had to drive to the center in person just to find someone to talk to. When we finally reached Bernal's supervisor, she apologized and explained there were staffing limitations at the time. Regardless, renters should not experience delays in communication. Better coverage and responsiveness are needed. Overall, great facility and great onsite staff, but communication needs improvement. With better responsiveness, this would easily be a 5-star venue.

Zumba Fit with Coach T through City of Sacramento Parks & Rec!…read more The North Natomas Community Center is attached to the North Natomas Aquatics Complex on the west end of North Natomas Regional Park. "The facility features a main ballroom, warming kitchen, and a private dressing room. Large windows overlook the North Natomas Aquatics Complex." Among the youth and community programs and events put on by the city of Sacramento, I checked out activities offered at NNCC and found an Adult Zumba Fit class. Check here for a list of all activities happening/offered at NNCC: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/cityofsacparksandrec/activity/search?onlineSiteId=0&activity_select_param=2&center_ids=259&viewMode=list Tequila Miller "Coach T" is the Zumba instructor, usually on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM for an hour. She's been teaching there since January 2024 and also teaches at Curves, Zumba Gold (seniors and older adults) at the South Natomas Community Center, and Zumbini (for 0-3-year-olds and their caregivers). For March, it cost $30 from March 5, 2024, to March 26, 2024, each Tuesday from 7 pm to 7:50 pm which was a great deal! For April, it's single classes instead for $10 each on April 9th, 23rd, and 30th, which is still a cheaper option compared to other places in the area such as Step 1 Dance & Fitness which is $15 for each drop-in class. Come and join us! The class is fun, not difficult at all to follow/pick up the repetitive choreography, and the playlist has a nice mix of songs: Cupid Shuffle, Blame It On The Boogie (Jackson 5), Proud Mary (Tina Turner), What A Feeling (Flashdance), The Cookout, The Wobble, and some other Latin-inspired ones too. Small class size but a huge space to dance around in, a good sound system, and the windows can act as mirrors if you're looking for that dance studio feel. Restrooms clean, water fountain if you forgot to bring your own bottle, onsite security guy for the evening too by the entrance. Plenty of parking as it's shared with the Aquatic Complex and they usually still have things going on there at the pool nearest to the Community Center during that hour.

A great boardroom! The staff is very friendly, too.read more
