The emergency response agency donated the 3-foot tree – decorated in a festive rescue theme – during Cassena Care’s third annual Festival of Trees, according to a statement from Stamford EMS.
“Stamford EMS is proud to participate in this wonderful community tradition,” said Patricia Squires, executive director of Stamford EMS. “As a nonprofit organization … we understand the value of community support. We’re thrilled to contribute to this heart-warming event.”
Squires said that her team members decorated the tree themselves, performing what she hopes will also become a tradition for the emergency responders.
Stamford EMS is a nonprofit that has been serving the city since 1992, according to the statment. Each year, its members respond to more than 14,000 calls for aid.
