Today, we're excited to introduce you to Chris Dyer of Maine. Carson Pickard nominated Chris to become a member of our First Responders Wall of Fame outlining his accomplishments to us:

Chris is one of the most selfless people I have met in my life. He not only serves on Maine ambulance but also is a Town of Owego firemen. He not only covers the town s during his regular shift hours. But also gives up his free time to come assit the on duty crew when they need a hand no matter what his plans were for the day . He has ran in the town of maine for his whole EMS career knowing pretty much everyone in the community. He not only is a great leader going into fire or car accident scene. He also is great teacher either get the mannequins out and showing you or just talking through scenarios to help you be a first responder. He knows when to joke around but when the tones drop and a serious call comes out he knows exactly what to do. As running as his partner for sometime now I have been shocked that almost ever ambulance call we go to he knows not only where it is but the first names of everyone at the house. He is a pillar to the community of the Maine Emergency Services.

Our community is a better place because you, Chris, are in it and we salute you and genuinely thank you for being the incredible human that you are!
