Timothy Clark

Tim Clark’s emergency medical services career began in 1981 with the Poultney Rescue Squad, inspired by the loss of a close friend in high school and his father’s first heart attack a year later. These life-changing events sparked a lifelong commitment to helping others in their most critical moments. Tim quickly advanced, earning his EMT-B in 1983, EMT-I in 1984, EMT-D in 1985, and Paramedic certification in 1994 from Hudson Valley Community College.

Over more than four decades, Tim has served in nearly every type of EMS system—volunteer, private, hospital-based, fire-based, and now with the nonprofit Rescue Inc. in Brattleboro, Vermont. He joined the Keene Fire Department in 1998, where he served 20 years as a firefighter/Paramedic, while also caring for patients for more than two decades at Diluzio Ambulance until its closure in 2023. That same year, he brought his deep experience and steady leadership to Rescue Inc., where he continues to serve with professionalism and compassion.

Tim’s excellence has been recognized with the Vermont State Trainer of the Year Award in 1990 and the Injury Prevention Award in 1998. Known for his calm and reassuring presence, he often reflects that, “having kids of my own helped me be comfortable and confident in treating children.”

Beyond his uniform, Tim is a devoted husband to his wife, Jennifer, a proud father of four, and a loving grandfather to five. Looking ahead, he dreams of traveling the United States in a camper, visiting family and exploring the open road.

Rescue Inc. is proud to recognize Tim Clark as a 2025 Star of Life for his lifetime of service, compassion, and leadership in emergency medical services.
