CHFD EMT Recognized for 28 Years of Service

At the Monday, November 26th Cherry Hill Township Council meeting, Cherry Hill Fire Department Emergency Medical Technician, Lynne Weinstein was recognized for her long service to Cherry Hill. Beginning in April 1979, Lynne became an EMT with the, since dissolved, CHEMS, or Cherry Hill Emergency Medical Service. During her tenure, Lynne served on various committees and as Board Secretary for some time. Lynne also endured, during her tenure, several organizational changes; ending with the integration of emergency medical services into the Cherry Hill Fire Department in 2003. Lynne’s involvement and support during this time made the integration smoother.
According to her colleagues, Lynne’s service as an EMT in Cherry Hill can be summed up by a single word: compassion. Lynne’s devotion as an Emergency Medical Technician was not only experienced by her patients, but also by her fellow EMTs and the emergency medical services as she took every effort to make positive changes for emergency responders. We wish Lynne well in all her future endeavors.
