National EMS Week is May 20-26. "EMS: More Than A Job. A Calling" is the 2012 theme, reflecting the idea that EMS personnel don't choose this field for big salaries, comfortable working conditions or a nine to five-hour job. They have a true calling to help and care for others in their hour of need.

This week and all year long, we owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of EMS professionals across the nation. These individuals are true public servants who commit their lives to aiding our residents in times of crisis and emergency.

The Cutchogue Fire Department is proud of our EMS providers and their services they provide to our community 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

As the Nation celebrates National EMS week we would like to say "Thank You" for your hard work and continued dedication and service you give to the community
