“Remember, we live on an island. In an immediate crisis, all we have is each other,” Lichtenstein said. “Petersburg’s EMS is critically important for our town, yet we are always short of volunteers. Make a real difference. Apply today! The EMT class runs January 25 through March 16, three nights each week and Sundays.
