Lyme is a small town. We think one of the best small towns in America.

In a small town, who do you call when you need help? A neighbor, that’s who. Because in a small town we all depend on each other. We have to.

But just as you depend on Lyme Ambulance in a medical emergency, we depend on you, the Lyme community, to help by volunteering your time and talent.

Lyme Ambulance EMRs and EMTs are all nationally certified and licensed. But most of us didn’t have any prior medical training — just the will to help our community. As a volunteer, you’ll receive expert instruction, guidance, and support every step of the way. You’ll learn valuable skills — skills that will last a lifetime — as will the pride in knowing you stepped up and helped your neighbors when they needed you most.

Why not take the first step now?
