This past Friday was our squad’s annual dinner. Here, we take the time to thank all of our squad members, past and present, as we would not exist without our volunteers! We also recognize those who go above and beyond in their work—whether that’s holding a leadership position or number of years served. Thank you all!

Also, many thanks to Chatham Emergency Squad, Inc for covering our town for the night so all of our members could enjoy this evening!

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our life member Paul Vickery. Paul was a cornerstone of the SVFAS for over 30 years. Serving as President, Captain, Trustee, and in various Lieutenant roles he made a significant impact on the success of our organization. The Squad was a true family affair for Paul. He met and married his beloved wife, Dr. Donna Rothschild Vickery, through the Squad. Paul’s presence will surely be missed but his legacy will live on. We will share details regarding services and arrangements as they become available. Please keep Donna, Ian, Claire, and the entire Vickery family in your thoughts.
