Mark Clifton was honored as the Killingworth Ambulance Association’s Top Responder of the Year at the KAA’s annual banquet held earlier this month.
A former KAA board president who was named to the Killingworth Hall of Fame this year, Clifton has been an EMT since 1983 and was involved in 106 calls from Nov. 17, 2017 to Oct. 18, 2018. Jess Accetta was recognized as the second Top Responder of the Year, while Bruce Bowman was third.
The banquet is held annually to thank the many people who help make the KAA effective throughout the year, a list that includes EMTs, EMRs, the KAA board of directors, town officials and officials from EMS organizations in surrounding towns.
All are necessary for the KAA to deliver the services so critical to residents of Killingworth.
Also honored were the instructors who put on CPR and “Stop the Bleed” courses, instruction that is essential to position citizens with the ability and know-how to deliver immediate life-saving help while EMS assistance is on the way.
The KAA’s chief of service, Mike Haaga, made the presentations.
