Big shout-out to Scott and Krista Baron of SK Fitness in Clifton. They were kind enough to donate this weight rack to Howland/Burlington fire. Fitness is a priority for our crews, so we couldn't be more grateful!

Thank you!

A busy year for Howland/Burlington Fire & Ambulance.

We would like to congratulate Firefighter Nathan Gilman on an award he received due to his actions on a recent medical call. Mr. Gilman was a part of a team effort who worked to provide high-quality CPR to a patient suffering from a sudden cardiac arrest.

Thanks to Nathan's actions -- along with the actions of others -- that patient received a good prognosis and was discharged from the hospital to recover at home.

This scenario is rare. The national average of "Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest" achieving return of spontaneous circulation (a return of a heart beat) is 5-10%. This is a testament of the hard work by all involved and we are proud to have him as a part of our team!

Good job Nathan!
