🚑 Outstanding EMT Recognition 🚑

The Thomaston Volunteer Ambulance Corps would like to formally recognize EMT Courtney Hall and EMT Jesiah Nieves Diaz for their exceptional performance during a recent emergency response.

Their rapid recognition, early defibrillation, high-quality resuscitation efforts, and strong overall scene management were exemplary and directly contributed to the return of spontaneous circulation and a survivable outcome for the patient. This was a complex, high-stress situation, and the care provided reflects an outstanding level of professionalism, teamwork, and clinical excellence.

Cases like this highlight the critical impact EMS has on patient outcomes long before arrival at the hospital. We are incredibly proud of Courtney and Jesiah and grateful for the lifesaving work they continue to do in the field every day.

Please join us in thanking them for their dedication to our community. 💙👏

Thank you to Thomaston Police Department and Thomaston Volunteer Fire Department always on scene. There assistance never goes unnoticed. Together we make a difference.

💔 Our community is hurting today.

Late last night into the early morning hours, a devastating fire destroyed several beloved local businesses, including Patti’s Place, Mom’s Place, US Graphics, American Nails, and Chatham Beach. The loss of these businesses is heartbreaking and deeply felt throughout our entire Thomaston community.

We are holding Patti and Mike Kelley and everyone impacted by this tragedy close in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our mutual aid fire departments and to the dedicated EMS professionalswho worked tirelessly through the night under extremely difficult conditions. Your commitment, professionalism, and selflessness do not go unnoticed.

In the days ahead, as information becomes available on how the public can help, including fundraising and other support efforts, we will share those details. We encourage our community to continue coming together, supporting one another, and showing the strength and compassion Thomaston is known for.
