Once a month, our team comes together to learn, share, and stay sharp on the latest lifesaving tools and training skills.

At this month’s meeting, Chief Steve Olstein shared updates and demonstrated new equipment, including temperature strips and the innovative tourniquet stretch wrap.

Deputy Chief Ariana Eaton, who leads recruitment, welcomed Ray Fusco, our newest EMT. He was unanimously voted in, and we are thrilled to have him join the team! 👏

These gatherings are also an opportunity to connect, share stories, and exchange lessons learned from the field. One of our team members shared how simply singing helped calm a patient’s nerves on the way to the ER, a reminder that sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that mean the most. ❤️

Training never stops at Lyme EMS. This month’s training session, led by Raymond Belval, focused on opioid overdose response and addiction awareness. Members received new opioid overdose emergency kits and learned how to make them readily available to anyone who requests one.

Caring for our community — always learning, always ready. 💪

Thank you to all who attended our First Aid Class with Colleen Atkinson and Doug LoPresti, EMTs and EMSIs (Trainers). Colleen and Doug led a free, hands-on session where neighbors learned how to handle everything from minor cuts to serious emergencies, and, most importantly, when to call 911.

We covered essential skills for responding to bleeding, falls, burns, and heart attacks, as well as simple home safety tips, such as keeping aloe, baby aspirin, and bandages handy. Participants also learned the importance of keeping their homes easily visible in an emergency; using visible reflective numbers, lights, and light sticks can make all the difference.

Our “mock bleed” demo (with a touch of ketchup for full effect) showed proper bandaging techniques (demonstrated here with Colleen and Les Cone). Everyone went home with practical tools, including a File of Life for the fridge and one for your children’s backpack or your own bag, as well as a deafening whistle to get attention when help is needed. Thank you, Colleen and Doug, for NOT demonstrating the whistle in the classroom!

We are excited for our next class - perfect for anyone interested in helping a loved one or extending their own independence at home. How to Thrive at 65 and Beyond will be hosted at
Lymes’ Senior Center
October 20 at 1pm!
All are encouraged to come! More classes and details can be found on our website.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to the Joshuatown Association for welcoming us to your annual meeting last month and for your unwavering support!

Graciously hosted by Clinton and Joe Standart at their beautiful home, we all gathered round to hear our Board President, Kieran George Mooney, speak about our promise to be there 24/7 with medical care and lifesaving education for our town. George shared his heartfelt thanks for the incredible generosity of this community, support that makes it possible for us to care for our neighbors every single day.

George also reminded us that we are always looking for new EMS volunteers. If you’ve ever felt the pull to learn emergency response skills and make a difference right here at home, please contact us! No prior experience is required, and all the training is provided.

A special highlight of the evening was running into our newest recruit, Bill Prentice, pictured here with Ariana Eaton, our Deputy Chief in charge of recruitment.

We are fortunate to live in a community that is both compassionate and engaged.

💙 Thank you to our entire Lyme community for making it possible for us to serve and care for one another.

A special shout-out and thank you to our hosts, Clinton and Joe Standart, Joshuatown Association board members; President, Lori Caine; Chair, Lisa Tomeo Golebiewski; Treasurer, Bill Farrell (Fat Stone Farm); Secretary, Dianne Embree, Anna James, Karen Dahle, and to all our supporters!
