Paramedic awarded for 41 years of service
KARNS CITY — With 41 years of experience in emergency services, Nancy Brice clearly is dedicated to the field. So dedicated is she, that she left her own award ceremony celebration early to answer a call.
On Monday, Brice received awards of recognition from the state Senate and House and Butler County for her work with various emergency services departments.
Friends, family, co-workers and leaders in emergency services gathered at the Karns City borough building to celebrate Brice and her continued success in the EMS field.
According to Brice, who turns 80 in March, her career as an EMT began in 1981, and she almost immediately pursued being a paramedic.
“I was a single mother of four, and I wanted something for me,” she said. “The local fire hall offered a CPR class, and the person who taught it thought I should take the EMT class, too.”
