President awards Norwich Emergency Medical Services students special coins in Jackman Hall meeting
When a fire burned through a Northfield house last month, leaving several residents injured, Norwich students working as first responders put the service-before-self into immediate practice.
As Vermont Capitol Police Chief Matthew Romei ’98 recounted in a letter to Norwich President Dr. Mark Anarumo, Corps of Cadets Col. Michael Titus and Dean of Students, Martha Mathis, about 150 emergency responders from more than 30 agencies answered a call to a March 25 house fire off of Little Northfield Road in Northfield, Vermont. Romei said the fire response was complicated, involving many university alumni and five current students.
