Boston Emergency Medical Services @ems.boston.gov · 07/01/2026

In November, EMT Gunther answered a 911 call from a man experiencing severe emotional distress and expressing intent to self-harm. Andrew used his calm presence and clear communication skills to build trust and ensure the caller remained on the line until help arrived to bring him to safety.
