DARIEN There’s a moment each year during the Memorial Day parade that Darien EMS Post 53 shares a tradition: As the members of the nation’s only high school student first responder organization walk under the railroad underpass on the Post Road, a flag is passed from the graduating seniors to the next class of leaders.

DARIEN The state’s rollout process continues to frustrate some in Darien, as firefighters have yet to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Though other towns included their fire departments in Phase 1A, Darien’s three volunteer fire departments Darien, Noroton and Noroton Heights are not classified as medical first responders, thus currently do not qualify to get the shot.
