First Responder Views Volunteering as a Commitment to His Community

With over 30 years in EMS and someone who witnessed 9/11 first hand, there is nothing this first responder is afraid of.

Meet Marc Perry

Here is a guy who is all about volunteering his time to better his community. Marc is a volunteer for the Clayville Fire Department, while he also works full time at Edwards Ambulance.

While in the field, many see Marc as a leader. He often is the go-to guy when mentoring new EMS first responders and anyone else looking to get into his field. Not only is he full of knowledge, but he's also a stand-up guy.

Marc is always willing to step up to the plate and offer a helping hand. He's willing to attend anyone's medical needs and is there in a second if a child is in danger. You can often catch him volunteering at Sauquoit football games.

Thank you Marc for all that you do. Your support doesn't go unnoticed and your impact is so much bigger than you realize.

Nominate a First Responder

Do you know a first responder that deserves to be recognized? Tell us about someone who should be honored in Central New York - a firefighter, police officer, EMT, forest ranger, paramedic, DEC officer, military, rescuer, front-line worker, or any other person first on the scene.

Include their name, a picture, and why they should be recognized during 'First Responder Friday." We'll honor one first responder every Friday and as a way to say thank you, we'll give them a Bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes.
