I met him many many many years ago

1974 ish - under Blomquist - Arlington trained staff as EMTs - retired
the 1949 or 1959 Chev paddy wagon as ambulance - some / just a few
cops were trained as EMTs around then - FD got a huge rescue /
ambulance - modelled after Glastonbury CT amb IIRC - Arlington FD got
a bunch of EMTs trained - Arlington FD then took over ambulance from
Arlington PD

1974 ish also - Arlngton FD moved from 158.76 to UHF

1980 ish - police and fire dispatch was combined when the new
community safety / police station was built

2016 ish - fire chief office left the police station and returned to
arlington center fire station

Blomquist was the only Director of Community Safety IIRC - after he
left  - no one was hired to fill the spot
