KENT—The Kent Volun teer Fire Department will celebrate Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week with a number of activities. The activities will conclude with an open house Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the firehouse at 28 Maple St.

This week is EMS Week across our state and Tuesday, families and co-workers of the EMS personnel we lost last year came together to honor them.  Sidney Cummins reporting.

After two resignations, firefighters say they don't have enough staff to respond to all medical emergencies, especially during the day.
