Firefighter/AEMT Scott Richard was highlighted by the Gilmanton Firefighters' Association on "Member Monday."

Richard has over 21 years of fire and emergency medical services expertise and has been a per diem member since 2018. In addition, he is the Town of Hill's fire chief and works for Alton Fire and Meredith EMS. After serving in the Marine Corps, he returned to the Lakes Region to pursue his career in public safety.

Highlights of his work, he said, were the people and the chance to mentor live-in students. He enjoys being outside and spending time with his two kids while he's not on duty.
