On Saturday November 2, two members of the Proctorsville Volunteer Fire
Department (PFD) were injured, though not in the line of service. According to
PFD, “PFD received a tone for a man that
was hit by a tree during logging operations. Ludlow Ambulance Service and PFD
responded to find it was our 1st Lt Seth Perry. [Seth is also the Cavendish
Town Constable.] He was transported to
Greven Field to be air lifted to DHMC by Boston Med Flight. Seth sustained a
broken collarbone, concussion, and severe muscle bruising. ....“While PFD Firefighters were on scene for
Seth there was another tone for Ludlow Ambulance to respond to Cavendish for
male in his 30s that had fallen from a roof about 12 ft. high. Ludlow Ambulance
responded to find our 2nd Lt Nate Rose with a severe leg injury. Nate was
transported to Springfield and later transferred to DHMC with a shattered heel.
Both Lt's look to have a long recovery ahead of them. Nate is being told that
he will never be able to walk the same again as he not only shattered his heel
but also displaced several other bones in his foot.
To help Seth, Nate and their families, please consider doing one of the
following:
• Contributing to a fund established by PFD. Checks, payable to Proctorsville
Fire Department and earmarked for Seth and Nate, can be sent to PFD, PO Box 81,
Proctorsville, VT 05153. The money will be divided between the 2 families.
