The Great Barrington Fire Department is proud to share that Firefighter/EMT Chris Laramee is being recognized by the Emergency Medical Services of Berkshire County - EMSCO for his heroic actions that helped save a life on January 4, 2025.

While on duty, Chris responded—alongside fellow EMS professionals—to an emergency at Ski Butternut, where an individual believed to be in their 40s collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. Chris took over CPR from bystanders and played a critical role in sustaining life until care could be transferred to the arriving ambulance team.

His calm, decisive actions in a life-threatening situation reflect the highest standards of emergency response. We are honored to have Chris on our team and commend him for his dedication to the community.

Please join us in congratulating Chris on this well-deserved recognition! 👏
