Springs Woman Named EMS Service Provider of the Year in the State
One of Springs' most dedicated emergency medical service volunteers is being recognized for her swift actions that helped to save a man's life on an Amagansett beach last summer.
Karen L. Haab, an advanced emergency medical technician with the Springs Fire Department, was honored Friday as the Firemen's Association of New York's EMS Provider of the Year during the organization's annual convention in Albany.
On Aug. 4, 2012 — the day of the Clamshell Foundation's annual Sand Castle Contest — Haab was enjoying time with family and friends at Atlantic Avenue Beach when she noticed an elderly man, later identified as 77-year-old Stuart Herman, being removed from the water.
