COPPER HARBOR -- Copper Harbor is a beautiful place to live or visit, but its remoteness can complicate an emergency response.

The village has taken steps to secure an ambulance service, but they can't finalize anything until they have a heated building to store the vehicle.

They're competing in this month's Pepsi Refresh Challenge for $250,000 which would be used to build a heated garage, and they need your votes to win.

"We have a wonderful first response team with EMTs and paramedics that live right here in town, and this would mean they could roll within minutes.  That could make the difference between life and death for somebody," said Staci Gibson of the C.H. Improvement Association.

People can use e-mail, text, Facebook, and Twitter to vote each day from now until the end of the month.

The top two vote-getters win the money.
