Tell us about the first responder and how they serve the community.

Vincent’s commitment to serving others is nothing short of extraordinary. As a volunteer firefighter with the East Killingly Fire Department, a full-time fire/medic with the Auburn Fire Department in Massachusetts, and a paramedic with KB Ambulance, he gives his time, energy, and heart to protecting and caring for others. I am honored to nominate Vincent for this recognition in honor of the profound dedication, courage, and compassion he brings to every call. In the most intense high-pressure situations, he remains calm and focused, providing not only exceptional medical care but also a reassuring presence. His loyalty to his crew, his deep empathy for those in need, and his tireless service to multiple communities speak volumes about the kind of person he is. Vincent is a true hero, whose integrity, heart, and selflessness leave a lasting impact on everyone he encounters.
