Chief Ed Warren is pleased to share that the East Kingston Fire Department was honored by Exeter Hospital during National EMS Week for its teamwork and professional response during a serious car crash in March.
The East Kingston Fire Department responded to a single-car crash on Burnt Swamp Road on March 28. East Kingston first responders, working with the East Kingston Police Department, State Police, and other mutual aid partners provided critically needed medical attention to passengers inside the vehicle. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
National EMS Week, observed from May 21-27 this year, serves to celebrate those who work in emergency medical service and to highlight the importance of their work to their community. Exeter Hospital staff presented East Kingston department members with a certificate of appreciation at Brentwood Fire & Rescue on May 26.
“We’re extremely grateful to Exeter Hospital for recognizing our efforts,” Chief Warren said. “Departments along the Seacoast rely on each other every day to provide the best fire and emergency medical response possible. We thank our mutual aid partners, and are proud of our strong relationship with Exeter Hospital and its Advanced Life Support team.”
