As part of its fire-based ambulance transport program, which voters authorized at town meetings in 2025 and 2026, the Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue Department welcomed three new full-time employees.
Ryan Paterson and Casey Burrage were lateral transfers from different fire departments in New Hampshire. Claire Richard became the department's first full-time female firefighter/EMT after more than a year of service as a call firefighter/EMT.
As the department strives to grow its emergency medical services, the three firefighters formally started their work on July 6.
