Lyme EMS Community Education Series
Committed to providing lifesaving education to our community.

09/30/2026

A reminder of why Lyme EMS volunteers train, prepare and stay ready came in real time during one of our recent monthly responder meetings at Hadlyme Station.

While our volunteers were gathered, a 911 call came in. Our on-duty crew, Heidi, Geoff and Keely, were on the move within moments.

They responded to assist a neighbor following a fall, provided compassionate care and safely transported the patient to the hospital for further evaluation. Thankfully, the fall did not result in a serious injury.

Moments like this are a good reminder that emergencies can happen anywhere, at home, on the trail, at work or out in the community. A fall, burn, cut or sudden medical emergency can quickly become a moment when knowing what to do really matters.

Because until help arrives, you are the first responder.

That’s why community education is an important part of what we do. Our free, hands-on classes teach practical, potentially life-saving skills and help you feel more prepared to act when someone needs help.

🪂 Now THAT takes courage.
We couldn’t be prouder of Lyme EMS EMT Heather B, who once again took the leap for Skydive for Veterans, raising support for veterans and a cause close to her heart.

Heather’s willingness to jump out of an airplane may be extraordinary, but her courage and desire to help others aren’t. It’s something we see every day in our Lyme EMS responders: people who give their time, step up when they’re needed, face difficult situations with courage and are committed to making a difference in our community and beyond.

As we head into October, a month when we celebrate the incredible people who answer the call, we’re especially proud of our responders and all the ways they choose to serve, both in uniform and outside of it.

Way to go, Heather and all the Lyme EMS responders. Your courage and commitment inspire us! 💙🇺🇸🪂

Celebrating community this Labor Day 🇺🇸

Labor Day weekend started with a special local celebration as Fox Hopyard Golf Club marked its 25th anniversary Friday evening with more than 100 family members joining in the festivities.

Lyme EMS was happy to be part of the fun, giving kids (and plenty of adults!) a look inside the ambulance, a chance to operate the stretcher and even compete in a few blood pressure contests. We’re told some of the littlest competitors took it very seriously!

Volunteer EMT Matt Cavallo kept everyone entertained too, with a little help from his sock puppet. 😊

Days like this are a good reminder of what makes Lyme such a special place: neighbors, families and local organizations coming together.

From all of us at Lyme EMS, Happy Labor Day! Have fun and stay safe! Fox Hopyard Golf Club

Keely Greiner, 26, an EMT from Lyme, par­ti­cip­ated in the event for her first time after her deputy chief encour­aged her to sign up.

We love seeing so many familiar faces, meeting new ones and having a little fun along the way! Our responders have been jumping right into the Fair traditions — Kevin showed some muscle in the Tug of War, Keely took best in her age class in the Fry Pan Toss, and Missy proved her aim is spot-on at the Cub Scouts dunk tank, helping send someone’s dad for a swim while supporting another local group. 🎯
