MEET THE MEMBER MONDAY #3
_______________________________

Meet the Member Monday (MMM) will be Monday's where a member from the Fort Edward Rescue Squad team is showcased. You may see the big yellow ambulance out and about, responding, or hear the members on the radio with a scanner, but you never get to see or meet the members behind the wheel, radio, or out providing quality care to the people of Hudson Falls, Fort Edward and Kingsbury. That's where Meet the Member Monday's come in!

This week's member is Brittany "Squeaks" Boice! Brittany joined the Fort Edward Rescue Squad back in 2013 as a Junior Member. When asked why she chose the Emergency Medical field, she said; "I chose EMS for a career because I originally wanted to become a nurse, but then I realized how much I like EMS, so I went the EMS route. I’ve been doing EMS since I was 14 as a junior member and love it."
A lot of members we take in and have are juniors, attendants, and students all learning. We are glad to be able to teach these members the ropes and different things they can do to serve their community. When asked why Brittany chose Fort Edward, she said; "I chose Fort Edward because it is close to home, and I enjoy working for my community. My favorite things about EMS is I get to work with an amazing group of people that I consider my family, the patients I care for, and most importantly I love seeing my sons face light up when I bring him to see the ambulances and when he says, “Mom, I can’t wait to drive the ambulance like you one day!”" Brittany has gotten close with everyone, and everyone loves her personality, becoming one of the very loved members. Brittany likes to spend time outdoors, with her fiance and son.
