Fallon Ambulance Service honors Bristol, RI resident for longevity in service at company’s recent 90th anniversary

QUINCY and BRISTOL, RI, ISSUED OCTOBER 10, 2013…Bristol, RI resident Lynn Mahoney was recently honored at a 90th anniversary celebration for Fallon Ambulance Service, during which time the company recognized the contributions of more than 30 longtime employees.

Lynn Mahoney was among those who were commended by Fallon Ambulance Service CEO Timothy Fallon, who said, “In a society where most people statistically work for seven different employers during their careers, we are very fortunate to have Lynn and 30 more people like her with their strong commitment to this company. We are very proud of her accomplishments and grateful to have her as part of our team.”

The setting for the anniversary celebration for the third-generation, family-owned private ambulance firm was at the Milton restaurant, Steel ‘n Rye, located at 95 Eliot Street. Prior to conversion to a restaurant, the building served as home for Fallon Ambulance for many years before the firm relocated to Quincy in 2005.

“Many of us who have been part of the Fallon Ambulance Service family for many years well remember working at 95 Eliot Street and it was a great homecoming – a chance to reflect on where our company has gone, and to see our old home in a new light,” said Peter Racicot, Senior Vice President.

In addition to its longtime employees, a number of local and state officials were on hand to congratulate Fallon Ambulance on its anniversary and its many contributions to the region.

Fallon Ambulance continues to maintain strong ties with the Town of Milton, and is that municipality’s 9-1-1 EMS provider. From Fallon’s headquarters in Quincy, it provides 9-1-1 service to Quincy, Milton, Braintree, Weymouth, Brookline and Dedham.
