Boston’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) celebrated the graduation of 35 EMT-Recruits and 13 recent promotions. That’s for a crew that keeps the sirens going 24/7 for city residents.

“Today marks not just the end of your training, but the beginning of a lifelong commitment to service,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “You are now part of a proud tradition of EMS professionals who respond with skill, compassion, and courage when our residents need it most.
