EMTs help usher in the beginning to the pandemic’s end

The arrival of COVID-19 vaccines has marked the beginning of the end of the pandemic, and EMTs in Jefferson County are at  the forefront of helping get those administered. 

Joseph Dunn and Larry Alheim are firefighters and EMTs with the Montana City Volunteer Fire Department. They have been providing support to the Jefferson County Public Health Department as it conducts weekly vaccination clinics at the firehouse. 

EMTs Dunn and Alheim are the last to be featured in The Boulder Monitor’s series on those working the front lines of the pandemic. The feature series has highlighted what it has been like for those working directly with the public over the past year, despite the risk, and has included school bus drivers, grocery store workers, school support staff, librarians, firefighters, postal workers and those in the food service industry.
