Why do you believe the local hero should be recognized or honored?

David has been volunteering in EMS for over 40 years. He is an emergency medical services instructor, a CPR instructor and a Stop the Bleed Instructor Trainer. He has been volunteering with the NBFD Ambulance Co. 4 for over 30 years. In the last year, he has taken on teaching community CPR and Stop the Bleed programs once a month at the ambulance building. He provides these programs free of charge to the community. He is always going above and beyond to serve his community. I know you may think I am biased because he is my husband but, I think if you ask around, a lot of folks would agree with me.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the local hero?

He truly cares about his patients and the community of North Branford.

Thank you for all you do, David Burich!
