Lyme EMS - Providing highly responsive 24/7 emergency medical services and lifesaving education to the town of Lyme.

Since 1975, Lyme EMS (formerly Lyme Ambulance Association) has provided 100% volunteer Emergency Medical Services to the citizens in the Town of Lyme. Our dedicated and well-trained responders are available 24/7 to answer emergency 911 calls whenever they arise. We operate two ambulances stationed out of Lyme and Hadlyme, CT.

Now 16, Matthew has passed both the state written and clinical exams and is actively training with Lyme EMS.

“We are so proud to have Matthew training with Lyme EMS. His dedication, maturity, and passion for service speak volumes about his future in emergency medical services and his commitment to making a difference in our community.”

Great work, Lyme Fire Company! 🔥💙
Thank you for hosting another essential cold-water rescue refresher, and thank you to Middlesex County Fire School for the expert training. We were proud to stand by and support last night's drill — teamwork like this keeps our community safe year-round.

Meet Your Responder: Jason.
Carpenter, gardener, kyaker, and one of Lyme EMS’s top responders!

Jason joined Lyme EMS in 2021 with one goal in mind:
The next time he came upon an emergency, he’d know what to do.

Years earlier, he found himself at the scene of a serious accident. With no medical training, he relied on skills he’d learned long ago as a Scout. That moment stayed with him and ultimately inspired him to become a certified EMR and step up as a volunteer for our community.

Today, Jason is one of our most dedicated responders, always ready to help and often caring for our Hadlyme station and ambulance “like it’s his own,” says Deputy Chief Ariana Eaton.

By day, he’s a talented housewright and remodeler. By night (or whenever duty calls), he’s one of our dependable volunteer responders. And when he’s off the clock, you’ll find him gardening, hiking, or kayaking—his favorite ways to connect with the land he loves.
“It’s one of the reasons I love our area so much,” he says.

Thank you, Jason, for your warmth, compassion, and unwavering commitment. 💙

If you’ve ever wondered whether you could make a difference… you can.
👉 You don’t need medical experience to join Lyme EMS. We train you for free.

Pride runs deep at Lyme EMS, just ask Chief Steve Olstein! 💙
To celebrate 50 years of service, Steve’s showing off his temporary Lyme EMS Star of Life tattoo, a fun nod to a symbol of care, compassion, and healing that has evolved much like our own logo. Steve’s tattoo may fade, but our commitment to our community never will.

Fun Fact:
The universal Emergency Medical Services (EMS) symbol was introduced 50 years ago to replace the orange cross, which was often mistaken for the Red Cross emblem. The new design, known as the Star of Life, features six points, each representing a key stage in emergency care. At its center is the Rod of Asclepius, a staff with a serpent coiled around it, which has long been a symbol of healing and compassionate care. It is named after Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine.

Six critical functions of emergency medical services:
1️⃣ Detection: recognizing a medical emergency
2️⃣ Reporting: calling for professional help
3️⃣ Response: EMS personnel and vehicles arriving at the scene
4️⃣ On-Scene Care: providing immediate medical care
5️⃣ Care in Transit: Providing medical care while transporting the patient
6️⃣ Transfer to Definitive Care: Transferring the patient to a hospital for specialized treatment

As we celebrate 50 years of service, we’re proud to evolve our logo from the Lyme Ambulance Association to Lyme Emergency Medical Services (EMS), a name that honors our legacy and reflects the comprehensive emergency medical services we provide today.

💙 Caring for our community since 1975.

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. 💪
