Harwich firefighters and officers recognized for going “above and beyond” the call

HARWICH – Tonight at the Selectmen’s Meeting six members of the Harwich Fire Department and two Harwich police officers were recognized for a cardiac arrest save that occurred in July. While this effort may be expected by some, it is worthy of recognition as everyone from the dispatcher at the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office, the family and Harwich Police and Fire did exactly what needed to be done to save a life. Early CPR and defibrillation matter.

Also one member was recognized for going above and beyond to find a couple’s lost wedding rings on Bank Street Beach.

Chief Clarke and Deputy LeBlanc presented letters of recognition along with Chief Guilmette and Deputy Gagnon.
