Our volunteers gathered at Comstock Community Center for a hands-on skills practice evening, where we took the opportunity to practice with our equipment. Here EMT Dave Smith is practicing splinting the arm of fellow EMT Matt Ferrante.

Each week the Wilton Town Clerk’s office releases data for the prior week’s real estate transactions. The Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps closed on its purchase of a new property at 232 Danbury Rd. https://goodmorningwilton.com/wilton-real-estate-transactions-week-july-27-aug-1-2024/

Recently WVAC volunteers Brian McDermott, John Miscioscia, Adam Schnitzer, Drew Kennedy, and Shelley Keyes participated in an animal “basic life support” class at the regional fire academy. We had a great time and learned how to provide emergency care for our furry friends, including choking, CPR, and stopping bleeding. While our primary focus is always on serving the people of Wilton, we know expanding our skills and knowledge is always valuable! We always recommend knowing your closest veterinary hospital, and contacting them in an emergency.

On Saturday WVAC volunteers were hard at work on a truck cleaning day! On the interiors, we emptied out the many different supplies and equipment carried inside and did a deep clean. We also gave the exteriors a good wash to keep our ambulances looking their best.

On Saturday, WVAC volunteers Tom Gunther, Shanya Wilson-Spiro, Skyler Reading, and John Miscioscia proudly represented WVAC at an exhibition hosted by the Wilton Chapter Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh - CT  at the Comstock Community Center. WVAC is deeply grateful for the ongoing support from the organization, especially for their generous contributions of PPE to WVAC responders during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, WVAC was proud to take part in the Wilton Winter Carnival! Our volunteers Brian Heffernan, Jamie Fortunato, and David Weinstock showed members of the community around our ambulance. Thank you for having us, we can't wait for next year! It was a joy to educate young kids about EMT services, ensuring they had a delightful time exploring the inside of the truck.

Last week, the dedicated WVAC volunteer team gathered for their annual holiday dinner at Marly's Bistro in Wilton. It was a joyous occasion, celebrating the incredible efforts of our volunteer crew in serving the community. Fortunately, the evening remained quiet and safe for the Town of Wilton as no calls were received.
