The Michael J. Latta EMS Scholarship Lights & Sirens Ball will be held again this year on Saturday, 28 April 2012.  Last year, more than $35,000 was raised for the scholarship fund.  Let's try to beat that goal this year.

Monies raised go toward funding educational scholarships for certified EMTs who are seeking to complete their eudcation as paramedics.  This year's application deadline is 16 March 2012.

Held at the Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital in Bradford, MA in memory of Mike Latta.  Mike was an EMT who had been both a StarFire EMS Basic EMT student and a StarFire EMS skill lab instructor at the time of his line-of-duty death while working for Patriot Ambulance Service.  His energy, enthusiasm, and dedication to family/friends/patients are sorely missed!

49 pints of blood were donated this year.  Next year is the 5th anniversary of Mike's death.  Let's set a goal of 100 pints!

StarFire EMS program staff member Michael Calthorpe (EMT at Trinity EMS) has been appointed to the Auxiliary Police Department in the town in which he lives.  Congratulations!
